I installed a radio and speakers in my boat. Wired it directly to the accessory swith. Radio works great except the alarm sounds when key switch is turned on. Maybe I’m just a moron but I can’t figure this out!
you may have blown a fuse somewhere

check grounds.
also check to see if you pinched a wire somewhere
what kind of motor
It’s a yamaha f115. If I cut the wires to the switch, from the radio, the alarm shuts off. I’ve checked all fuses and they are good. Radio works fine until key switch is turned on.
Get yourself a 9v battery and a multi-meter. best way to troubleshoot. I have a spare multi-meter you can borrow if that would help. My motor was going off last week only because of a loose ground wire with my live well. hope you can figure it out!

A quick fix would be to take the power from the radio and hook it to a seperate toggle switch,run a wire from the tpggle switch to the battery[hot side].make sure you have an inline fuse when doing this and make sure you have a good ground.
Hope this works out for you…
