Re: Solenoid

Hey, Jimmyp,<br />It's Hooty again. Yep, you're gonna need a solenoid for your t&t set-up. It will be in a box along with a terminal strip. This is where the wires from the t&t switch and the pump hook up. Mounts in the boat, Should've come with the rest of the stuff.<br />Have ya got a manual yet?<br /><br />c/6<br /><br />Hooty

Re: Solenoid

Didnt the 96's have the two relays, instead of the solenoid, on the side of the block?<br /><br />I think.

Re: Solenoid

I doubt you'll need solenoids...You'll probably need a couple relays. Bosch or Hella will do. SPDT 40 amp. These were typically found in a black plastic box near the top of the engine. If you don't have the original box, it may be easier to mount them on board instead. You'll also need the TnT button/switch to accent your control box...<br /><br />I'd recommend getting a schematic from an applicable manual........<br /><br />
