Default Nissan/Tohatsu 18 hp motor

I have an 11' Whaler. I bought a 18 hp Nissan outboard. It was tiller
and I had it comverted to steering. Now if I touch the steering wheel
and the neutral throttle or the wheel and the kill switch on the motor,
I get a shock. This is only if the motor is running. It has an
electric starter, and a pull starter.

I am female and know very little about electricity. I have friends
helping me, and we tried grounding the steering to the neutal post on
the battery to ground it. STill shocks me.

Any ideas appreciated

Jean
