Motor wont turn off with key

Could be broken wire in loom,or bad connection in loom plug or faulty ign switch which is very unlikely

Turn the switch off motor keeps running

It sounds like there is a short in the alternator or wiring for alternator. You are continuing running with the battery cut off. But the outboard generates its own power and its finding the way to the ignition. As for grounding, you may be idling too high for a quick shut off.

Not enough information on the motor. what year and model? but all yamaha outboards are shut down by the C.D.I. being grounded by the key switch or the emergency kill switch. the cheapest thing to test or replace is the key switch and the emergency kill. with more info on engine I can help you further.

It’s the relay, they stick and the engine won’t shut down. Unplug the harness and see if it still runs, if it dies it’s the white wire, if it doesn’t turn off the relay is shot
