Good To Know
Q: What is the role of this solenoid relay? A: It acts as a high-current switch that connects the battery to the starter motor when you turn the ignition key, protecting the ignition switch from the heavy load.
Q: Can this relay be used for both 2-stroke and 4-stroke outboards? A: This relay is application-specific based on the model numbers, so its use should be confirmed with the engine's parts list, though its function is universal to starter circuits.
Slight variation in finish or dimensions may occur between production runs, and fit can depend on serial number, so confirm compatibility before ordering.
