[QUOTE="Ranchero50, post: 388296, member: 1523"] If I had to venture anything I would say corrosion causing voltage leaking 'somewhere'. It's not a short, they cause smoke. You have a partial open in one of your circuits so the current is flowing through the hull instead of through the wiring like it should. You really need a good volt meter and to understand electricity to troubleshoot these fun problems. Do you have a decent wiring diagram? Trace the circuits and check the voltage on them with the box grounded and floating to see what's different. You should be able to remove the starter wiring so the engine is't trying to start while you are troubleshooting the solenoid etc. My only concern with isolating the controls from the hull is you are not fixing anything, merely putting a band-aid on an infection. Naturally the puss won't come out until you hit a rock and bad things happen fast. [/QUOTE]
