If your boat motor keeps running after turning the key off, it could be due to a phenomenon called "dieseling," where the engine continues to run from residual heat and fuel in the combustion chamber. This can also happen if there's an issue with the ignition switch, such as a short circuit that keeps the ignition system engaged. Additionally, a malfunctioning fuel system or a stuck throttle could cause the engine to receive fuel even when the key is off. It's important to address this issue promptly to prevent potential damage to the engine.

With lights off What causes the left headight motor to keep running on a 1985 corvette?

Failed limit switch, or bad wiring. The motor will keep running until the headlight finds "home" ... ergo a failed limit switch as mentioned above. The sensor at the "home" position (headlight off) has to be tripped by the headlight assembly before the motor will shut down. The motor has no idea where the headlight physically is ... it keeps running until the switch is engaged.
