Actually I have two questions:<br /><br />1) Is it possible to buy a complete engine wiring harness for a mid 80s vintage Mercruiser 3 liter engine? If so, where could I find one? (The harness on my dad's boat has been spliced and cobbled together in too many places for my liking
).<br /><br />If I cannot find one (and reasonably priced
) I will probably end up making my own. I would rather not have to "reinvent the wheel" however.
<br /><br />2) Just a question to satisfy my curiosity -- can anyone explain to me the purpose and function of the slave or assist solenoid in the starting circuit? I understand the purpose of solenoids in general - (at least I think I do!) - they are basically big, heavy duty switches which transfer a lot of amps. But what's the slave or assist solenoid do?
