Just this weekend I went to start the boat (2001 ls2000 V) for the first time this season. I had the fake a lake hooked up in my driveway. Same thing happened to me. The boat wouldn't turn off. Keys out of the ignition, unhooked batteries, and it still ran for a half hour. Finally, I turned the key to the start position and the boat shut off.
I was kind of freaked out running for that long with the just the fake a lake, so I didn't start it back up until the next day when I saw that I had missed connecting one black wire to one of the batteries. I connected this wire with all the others, started it again and this time it shut off with the turn of the key. I tried it three more times to make sure and sure enough seems to be okay.
What gives? I have no electrical background whatsoever, so I could use some advice. The manual I have has an electrical diagram, but the diagram doesn't show the four black wires I have connecting to the neg. terminal. This must have been a modification from the previous owner. I'm pretty sure this black wire goes to the blower since that was the only thing not working during the 30 minutes of the boat running with no battery connection.
