I just had new forward controls fitted with new wiring harness. I brought it home & started her up with no probs, I put my hand on thermo cover to feel temp & got a huge electric shock. I also got a shock of gear linkage lever. Key would not shut down engine. Any ideas would be appreciated .:mad:
 
Strange indeed. Post your question on the Evinrude forum on this website. There are some real experts that hang out there.
 
Did you have this job done by a mechanic or someone who said they would help you out? Sounds like the ignition switch is wired incorrectly. It also sounds like you got shocked by the ignition wires when you touched the t-stat housing.

Two separate issues.
