You may have a wiring problem. That looks like your motor is making as a ground. Check your batteries.

This is what happened when I had a grounding problem. Check your battery connections.

Thanks ChrisB that looks identical. Your connections were bad or bad wiring?

Mine happened when I moved the engine leads over to one of the trolling motor batteries when my starting battery went bad on the water. I believe the 36 volt trolling motor was grounding through the prop.
