Please HELP,I have wiring gremlins

[ajfetterman]

I put in a new block and I tagged the wires however I left the one from the battery untagged. I thought it went to the starter but when I turn on the battery the engine starts to crank. I have replaced the solenoid nearest the starter ( Im assuming that is the starter solenoid) and I have the same problem.

Can someone help me here. I'm desperate to find a solution.

The boat is a 1978 Arrowglass I/O. 305 chevy- mercruiser 228.

My guess is that you have live 12v getting to the post on the solenoid that should be on or off from the keyswitch. Do you have a wiring diagram?
