When that happened to me it was because of a low battery.

It sounds more like the solenoid is sticking. If it doesn't clear itself from cycling a few times, you will have to pull the starter and clean and lube the solenoid pivot assembly.
Google it.....

I had this happen to me last year. The starter wouldn't disengage and it pretty much burned up the starter and I needed a rebuild. That said, I'm pretty confident that my problem ended up being the relay. It's a pretty cheap part if you shop around:
This part, in the middle of the pic with the big wires attached to it:
I went through 2 starter rebuilds before I replaced this part and had my starter not disengaging go away. Also, after the 1st rebuild, it didn't have the issue immediately, it took a while on the water first...
