Hello all, I've got '88 horizon 200 with 5.7 4v. everything's been fine up until randomly yesterday when i heard a click sound coming from rear of boat about every 5-6 seconds, while covered up in my driveway. i opened my cover and found hour meter running with key off. Also, the depth sounder was on. Normally, both of these things only happen when key is in the "on" position, with or without motor running. I took key out, still stayed on. Had to unplug battery to get them to turn off. I replaced the ignition switch tonight, to no avail. still not working properly. So I have to keep battery unplugged to not run up hours. I ended this past sunday with 486 hours, it now says 568. Not cool. any thoughts? I just am struggling to figure out how it has never had this issue, and now it does. very strange. I don't really know where to begin. I looked behind the dash, don't see bare wire or anything crossed. I hope its not in engine compartment, because i have no idea about the wiring back there.
any ideas/help would be appreciated,
thanks in advance.
