Title: 460 Solenoid. Too many wires not enough post!
Post by: JB1314 on June 24, 2016, 08:40:22 AM

I'm putting in a new solenoid and converting the starter to a new PGMR starter. Instructions say to run battery cable, starter cable, alternator cable on one post. From the looks of it I don't think I can fit all these on one terminal. Any suggestions?

My boat never had that solenoid.  Im running a pgmr starter without one.  Works just fine. I have have all the wires on my starter except for my alternator. My alt is a one wire wired directly to the battery.

Is there a polarity on these? Thinking of running batter and starter to one post. The PGMR wire and power to fuse block on the other. Will that work?
