55hp evinrude wont start

[pkrainert]

Hello I just bought a 68 fabuglas boat and it has a 55hp evinrude on it. I am not sure of the year of the motor yet. When I try to start it I head a very loud click at what I think is the solinoid. Black square plastc box with two wires leading to it. The starter doesnt turn at all when you turn the key just clicks. I have tried two differnt batteries both fully charged.

Its the solenoid. Just bypassed it to do a quick check.

I guess the motor is a 77. The model number is 55773d . Where can I find a new solenoid? When I search online it shows the starter and solenoid as one piece. The starter on thier now was recetnly replaced but is not intergrated with the starter. Where can I get a solenoid for this? the serial is e0006552 if that matters.

Never mind I found it there are two versions of starters. I just ordered it hopefully it will be here by the end of next week.
