    JUST CHANGED THE STARTER AND SOLENOID.

    It sure sounds like you crossed a cable somewhere. If you have a voltmeter, disconnect the cables and find the cable that has 12v only when the key switch is in the start position.

    Oil Leak

    Yes there should be a washer or O ring on the plug and the plug should be magnetic. When you get the washer or O ring and remove the plug you may as well change the lube, if the oil got out water may have gotten in.

    Nissan Outboard 50 HP NS50D2 won’t turn over

    AC power when switch is off?

    Just a guess but maybe the meter is showing there's 120v shore power and is wired before the master panel switch. Is the master panel switch on your boat?

    Diagnosing non working depth sounder

    I'd say the gauge is bad. The xducer may be bad too but it looks like the gauge is not seeing the xducer.
