Hello im a new Member... Took my Stacer 420 out Yesterday for a run, when i got to my fishing spot i turned the key to kill the engine but it stayed on... i had to disconnect the battery to stop the Engine, In the last 6 months ive replaced the Starter Solenoid along with the 2 Tilt/Trim relays. Ive been told to replace the Key ignition Barrel by a mate, Im out in the Country near Young NSW any help would be Greatly Appreciated, Thanks Jamie. ( its a Mercury 60hp Bigfoot )

The stop circuit is usually pretty simple, but, you will need to google the wire colours, what happens is to turn the motor off, the ignition system (spark) is grounded, you probably have the ground wire broken, or (less common) the key is not switching it to ground

Hello noelm Thanks for the reply, i sorted the problem it ended up being a bad earth from one off the wires from the Solenoid Relay, a good friend helped me find the fault, we took it to Nowra last weekend but it played up & ruined the day, as im in the Country ill take it to Wyangala dam Saturday fortnight to make sure its all good before our next outing to Botany Bay at Xmas.
