Boat will not turn off by key, only kill switch

Hello, I am new to this forum, thank you for having me here.

I have a hurricane deck boat with a 150 hp merc 2 stroke.

When I turn the key off, the engine continues to run. When I hit the kill switch, it will stop. It has never done this before. I must turn the kill switch to run to start it with the key again.

I would prefer to only use the key like I have in the past.

Thank you for reading, I welcome any and all suggestions

Do you have a good ground going to the ignition switch? Be careful when wiring do not apply battery pos to the kill circuit you will need a new switchboxes. All it takes is a split second to get real expensive.
