1968 85 HP Johnson OB Solenoid

[DJ_Thrive]

I would like to purchase a replacement starter Solenoid for my 1968 85 HP Johnson OB...any clue where to get one? These motors are considered "vintage" because of their age. I also have a similarlay aged 60 HP Johnson who's solenoid is slowly dying (needs to be tapped sometimes)

For obsolete parts that are not available at iboats, I go with Dan Gano at ganotech.com. He has OEM stuff going back pretty far and is very reasonable to deal with.

Here you go, # 89, looks like it's still available.
