You did not know where a starter solenoid wire was?

Jon I suggest you take a basic course on engine electrical systems.


What kind of engine is in the boat?
You say "gas" juice..are you saying the boat has an Atomic 4 or some
other type of dangerious gasoline engine?

Gasoline engines are not dangerous at all. Gasoline engines almost
never blow up. Gasoline itself, however, leaking from a fuel line or
tank, does pose a substantial risk. Especially when the solenoid wire
is loose.

I do now. :-) I should have known where it was before I left. I guess we all
learn from our mistakes.

It's a Westerbeke 13hp. I would not buy an A-4, even though they're not bad
engines.
