Get either the Seloc or the Clymer manual for your engine model and year... then follow the instructions contained within step by step. It's really not a hard job, and one that you should know anyways.. replacing the impeller at the start of the yearly boating season is actually a pretty good form of insurance against overheating and burning out your engine.

Decided to go ahead and replace the whole pump took about an hour and a half. Not too bad and hey I learned something too!

Poltergeist? Yeah, maybe,
...but I wonder whether it's a pesky neighbor or a kid pulling a prank. Got any enemies? I'll admit I don't know enough about spontaneous starting. It's enough of an effort to get the thing to start when I WANT it to start, let along something interesting like you've got. Still, I was pondering replacing the impeller for regular maintenance, and it's good to have a handle on how little time it takes. Thanks!

Talked to my mechanic and he affirmed the water in the ignition switch. Reminded me to always use the battery switch. Lesson learned.
