I have a 1986 125 hp force . My problem is this . When i am starting motor the negative side of the battery gets very very hot .The cables aren`t to bad but the wing nut that holds my accessorie grounds gets to hot to even touch . I have been told there is a short somewhere but have traced all wiring and cannot find anything . If the motor does not start after about 3 attempts then the bateery acts as if it is dead but if i let it cool down then it will be fine ffor another few attempts . I have searched the forums and cannot find anything related to this . Thanks in advance for your help
