Thanks, Tried what you said, the slave solenoid clicked. Have one on order, just waiting for it to arrive and will check it out. Thanks again. I am also looking for a screw that came off my alpha drive , which is part of the Continuity kit. Do I have to buy the whole kit , or can i just get the screw. Thanks

No. They are stainless steel screws. Pull one the same size to get thread size and whether fine or coarse thread. Take it to a hardware store.

Thanks, It was the Slave solenoid. I appreciate the help. Will try the hardware store for the screw on the drive for continuity. On a lighter note, how do i post a picture of my boat with the profile. Thanks.
