Starter Solenoid for Evinrude Johnson
This starter solenoid is a direct replacement electrical component designed to manage the high-current flow to the starter motor on Evinrude and Johnson outboard engines, ensuring reliable engine cranking for models produced between 1974 and 1995. This marine-grade solenoid engages the starter circuit when the ignition key is turned, providing consistent performance for both 1976-77 miscellaneous applications and other compatible outboard motors of that era. Built to withstand the harsh marine environment, this starter solenoid delivers the dependable switching action needed for your Evinrude Johnson engine to start every time.
Overview
This starter solenoid is a robust electrical switch that carries battery current directly to the starter motor, enabling your Evinrude or Johnson outboard to crank and start. It is designed for engines from the 1974-1995 production years, including models used in miscellaneous applications during 1976-77. The solenoid ensures a positive electrical connection every time the ignition is engaged, reducing the risk of starter failure due to a weak or failing relay.
Built For Performance
- Replaces worn or failed starter relays to restore reliable starting power.
- Constructed with corrosion-resistant materials to withstand saltwater and freshwater environments.
- High-current copper contacts ensure minimal voltage drop during engine cranking.
- Compatible with a wide range of Evinrude and Johnson outboard engines from the mid-1970s through the mid-1990s.
- Sealed design protects internal components from moisture and vibration.
- Direct-fit design simplifies installation, matching original mounting and terminal configurations.

Good To Know
Q: Will this solenoid fit my 1982 Johnson 35 HP outboard? A: Yes, this solenoid is designed for Evinrude and Johnson outboards from the 1974-1995 model years, so it is compatible with a 1982 Johnson 35 HP, provided the mounting and terminal layout matches your original part.
Q: How do I know if my starter solenoid is bad? A: Common symptoms include a clicking sound when turning the key, but the engine does not crank, or intermittent starting where the motor sometimes fails to engage. This solenoid directly addresses those failure modes.
Slight variation in finish or dimensions may occur between production runs, and fit can depend on serial number, so confirm compatibility before ordering.
