Title: Unwiring a solenoid
Post by: Ken Krawford on July 26, 2005, 05:55:04 PM

The solenoid that I installed a while ago is fried and I can't remember where the wires from the solenoid go on the terminal block.
Can anyone help?
Thanks.

Ken, I sent a couple of pics to your yahoo email address. Check those to see if this is what you need. I was not sure from your question, especially the part about the "terminal block".

Kra : What solenoid did you wire in?? to what?? :?:

All that a solenoid is is an electrically actuated switch!!
The wire/line that you want to control is cut. One wire is attached to the "input" side and the other to the "output" side of the solenoid. The the activating wire is attached to the top of the solenoid. Either to the "C"ontinous or the "I"intermittent pole - depending what you're trying to do!!??!! :idea:

Go here:

I included the wiring diagram, scroll down to it. It shows exactly where to replace the wires IF the solenoid fails.

Guys : Kra didn't mention his hull #, production year or which engine he/she has.
If Kra has an M35 engine, there's already a built-in solenoid for the glow plugs. That's why it's important to give info on your boat. It saves guessing to why/what he installed a solenoid for. :roll:
