Mark,
As usual, thanks again for your informative and quick response. Using the wiring diagram you posted, the manufacturers, diagram, and my 35 years with this boat, attached is what I came up with as a wiring solution. Can you take a look at it and see if yo recall this to be correct?
Green wire is to parallel switch.
Black is to ground
both 16 gauge and on liitle posts of solenoid.
Two red wires are two the "both" position on the battery selectors and then to the large posts on the solenoid.
these are 10 gauge.
It seems to be working and most importantly so does everything else that was working before! LOL
I can hear it clicking and both side still turn over. Hard to tell if it is boosting cranking amps as all batteries are fully chatged.
What do you think?
Thanks again,
Jeff

Mark,
Do you think they came in from the back, underneath through the wall and then up to the side posts? I just don't remember seeing them. I only had to replace this solenoid once in 35 years and I just can't recall. Of course of the hundreds of pictures I have I never took one of the solenoid. Wire size aside does the set up look correct?
Thanks mark. Hey next time you see Mike tell him I said hello!
