Reviewing the incident I do not believe the cause was an overspeeding starter.
Once I stopped engines with helm kill switch the starter stopped. The melting wires and the attempted engine restart indicates the problem is most likely a failed solenoid. BTW in this 1973 Ford Lehman config the solenoid is mounted about 8" inches away from starter.
Thanks Ski!
