Best Answer

I am guessing you are speaking of a starter or shift solenoid.

The answer is yes.

It needs to be "marine" rated. The reason for this is gasoline vapors are heavier that air, and "marine" type solenoids are sealed so they do not cause a spark possibly setting off an explosion.

The other good reason to use a marine rated solenoid, is reliability. Being around moisture (especially saltwater), a sealed marine unit will last longer and be much more reliable.

Good Luck.

Does it matter where a boat's name is placed?

Normally, a boat's name is placed at the stern of the boat. I have never seen it placed anywhere else on the boat. I supposed you could put it up by the bow, if you wanted to, but people would be less likely to see the name there. It's your choice, really. I do know that the sailing registration number, if you choose for it to be on the outside of your boat, must be in the bow.


How do you tell if starter or solenoid is bad?

Put a stethoscope or a plastic tube onto the solenoid, listen at it while a friend turns the starter. If solenoid clicks it is good. -Problem then is low battery or dud starter.


WHY 110 cc ATV made in china Daymak model. starter won't engage-turn over-fully charged battery-clicking solenoid. is it the starter or solenoid- how do i figure if solenoid is bad?

You get a 12volt test light and put the clamp end on the frame where there is no paint Then you put the needle end on the bigger bolt .With the key turned on one side of the solenoid should have power. Then put the tester on the other side and push button to engage the starter it should light the tester lite if it does not lite up then your solenoid is probably bad.


How do you replace a solenoid on a lawn tractor - MTD yardman model 604?

Without the entire model number I can't tll you where to find the solenoid. But, if you follow the positive (+) battery cable from the battery it will go directly to the solenoid. Unhook the cable from the battery first. Then mark the cables that go on the solenoid so you can put them back on the new solenoid in the same positon. All you have to do is remove the wires from the solenoid and unbolt it from the mower. Then put the new one in it's place and hook the wires up just as you removed them.
