Topic: Yanmar Diesel starter solenoid mystery

I own a Lancer 30' sailboat, currently occupied as a live-aboard by my son. He's had some odd trouble with the starter solenoid on the 18hp Yanmar 2 cylinder diesel engine. Apparently the solenoid died and the replacement burned out after only a few starts. My son wonders if there might be a short circuit anywhere, or if there might be another cause for this problem that somebody out there might suggest looking out for before he spends another C-note for yet another solenoid! But what a sweet boat she is once the motor's off and she's under sail! I know this is a new topic in a new Manufacturers Forum, but I hope it will soon be well-populated! Best to all! __________________ bildam Back to Top
