My accessories (bilge, aerator, lights) hook to my cranking battery. When engine is turned off, all accessories work fine. However, if accessories are turned off, and I crank the motor, the motor doesn't turn over (I just hear a sparking noise coming from crank battery). If I unhook accessory wires from battery, the motor will then turn over. What's my problem?

Re: motor short out

You have a bad connection at the battery,remove the wires and clean all of them then replace and retighten them
