Getting Zapped

[BamaBuckshot]

I have a 1972 65hp Johnson with electric shift. While its running I'm getting shocked at the controls. Its a pretty good jolt. I've checked around inside the control box and all the wires look fine. I also checked around the starter solenoid and it looks fine. Any thing else I need to do or check? Does the control box need to be grounded?

Re: Getting Zapped

Yes, your control box should be grounded. Not sure if that is why you are getting shocked but if you have a manual take a look at the wiring diagrams and it should tell you exactly which wire is your ground. Good luck.
