  • I'm getting shocked

    I recently installed a '94 Yamaha C40PLRS on my aluminum jon boat.
    It has the Yamaha 703 control with tilt switch in the handle.
    When the motor is running, and I touch the neutral throttle lever and the steering wheel at the same time, I get shocked.
    Nothing happens if I just operate the main throttle/shift lever.

    Is there a ground wire or something I might have missed?
    Maybe an insulation problem?
    Is this common?

    Check all grounds on engine, make sure ground straps between transom bracket and motor mounts. look for shorted wires.
