Replacing Captains Call exhaust solenoids
Posted: Sat Aug 15, 2020 4:51 pm
Hi All!
Well, I have another issue that I thought I should share with everyone. When I bought the boat, (about a year ago in AZ) the previous owner told me he had disconnected the solenoids for the Captain's Call exhaust. Upon inspection one solenoid had been removed and the other was still there, but both were disconnected. I made a temporary fix, as you can see in the photos, of a turnbuckle that I can use to open and close the exhausts manually. It's worked fine, but I'd really like to get new solenoids installed. Any guidance finding the correct new ones would be greatly appreciated. I think the old ones are two wire. Can I use the existing wiring, etc and just wire new ones in? Photos attached and I'll post a photo of the old solenoid I have. Of course, it has no markings on it for me to reference... Thanks for your help!
