So at the end of last season, the starter solenoid on my 115 HP, 1975 model Evinrude puked. It'd start with a tap of the hammer but that quickly gets old! I brought the boat out of storage this weekend to replace the solenoid but spent many hours to get zero progress. I installed the new solenoid exactly as the old one came out but nothing. Even went so far as to exchange the brand new one for another new one. Still, nothing. I'm getting voltage back at the solenoid but still can't get it to turn over. Starter works as a straight positive connection from the battery to the starter lead works.
What could I be missing here? Is there something else back there that could be broken? I'm sure it's something obvious!!!
Thanks for your feedback!
