[gabe1]

Hello <br />I am new to this forum.<br /> I go boating with my friend few times a year.<br />Last fall I purchased my first boat a 1988 searay with a mcm 3.0L 181 sid mercruiser with AlphaI<br />The seller winterized the boat last fall and it was running.<br />A couple days ago I tried to start it......... nothing not even a click.<br />I researched this forum and I found a nice post by a guy called Don<br />It was an awesome link that shows you how to troubleshoot a boat starter.<br />So yesterday I was looking for the slave solenoid and I could not find it?<br />Does anyone know the location of this slave solenoid?<br /><br />Thanks<br />Gabe

Should be on a bracket that has the round main wiring harness connector on it. Item 17 is the slave solenoid.<br /><br />
