Good To Know
Q: What does this relay do? A: It is a switch that uses a low-current signal to control a high-current circuit, such as a starter motor. This allows a smaller control mechanism to safely manage the heavy electrical load.
Q: Which brands is this relay compatible with? A: The relay is designed for EMP Parts and Sierra Marine, referencing their specific part numbers for a cross-compatible fit. Always verify your system's requirements against these specifications before installation.
Slight variation in finish or dimensions may occur between production runs, and fit can depend on serial number, so confirm compatibility before ordering.
