Starter Solenoid needed. Help

[TwoWatt]

To start:<br />Motor in question is a 50hp Mercury 500 Thunderbolt Ignition. <br />The engine serial # is 3175358. <br />The best info I could find is "maybe" it was made in 71.<br />Anyways, I'm not getting power past the solenoid. I thought I'd try replacing the solenoid, then if that didnt help replace the starter.<br />Could anyone point me to an online parts supplier that has this part.? <br />Could you verify the year on the motor?<br />Thanks. If you need more info let me know.

You could jump across the terminals to verify that your starter works.<br /><br />Also, when my starter solenoid went out, I went to autozone and got one for an old ford pickup. It was a little bigger, but I bolted it down on one side, and it has been working for me for over a year.<br /><br />k
