Hi

I have a chris craft 26 with a 7.4 liter volovo penta counter rotating
stern drive on it. Great boat! But Im having a huge problem with it
now. The engine runns great and starts easily without any effort. This
is what is happening (Chris Craft/ Volvo this is a major problem that
requires a recall)

Goes like this: I put the boat in the water and start her up she
starts and runs great for a ramdom amount of time. Then for no reason
the starter will try and start the boat. So I SHUT OFF ALL POWER to
the boat by using the battery selector I think its called "Perko"
(name brand). I remove my key from the inginition and turn the "power"
back on and the starter, may or may not, immediately try to start the
boat, even if its in gear! This means because it happens ramdomly that
if I stopped to go swimming and turned the boat off but left it in
gear it has a good chance of simply starting up while some one is in
the water! Oh that's safe. I would think there should be some type of
fail-safe method so the boat doesn't just start on its own whenever it
wants. I have replaced the selnoid and starter thinking that was the
problem, but it wasn't, any suggestions? I have been stranded in the
great lakes a few times and have lost crediability with my boat.

Thinking of a new boat name, "Christine"
