[omc-boats] Re: tilt solenoids

Thanks, gents re: the relays. Will switch them to test, but waiting
for a new tilt motor to do so. And at $15 ea., may just replace them
both anyway...

Though I agree w/ others' logic that almost any starter solenoid will
work, mine happen to look much more like this:

(thanks to Ethan Brodsky for the link)

...than the ones pictured below. I assume as long as I get a grounded
base and 4 contacts, I'll be fine.

Anyone know why this would have 1 small contact and mine/others have
2? That doesn't seem to correlate with whether it's a grounded base
or not.

Going back one page from the link just above, this item (MES3368M)
looks just like mine:
