Replacement Solenoid for Johnson Evinrude Outboard Motor Starter System

Replacement for Johnson Evinrude outboard motor starter relay solenoid compatible with 55 HP models from 1977 and other applications in the starter system. This component serves as the solenoid in the ignition circuit to engage the starter motor when activated by the ignition switch. The solenoid acts as an electrical switch that allows high current from the battery to flow directly to the starter motor, preventing damage to the ignition switch from excessive amperage. Proper function of this relay ensures quick and consistent cranking even after periods of storage or in cold weather conditions common to marine environments.

Key Features & Benefits

• Functions as the solenoid to complete the circuit between battery and starter motor
• Supports starter engagement in outboard motor systems
• Constructed for direct fit in compatible Johnson Evinrude applications

Product Specifications

• Rated current: 150 amps intermittent
• Coil resistance: 3.2 ohms nominal

Replacement Compatibility

Compatible with 1977 Johnson Evinrude 55 HP outboard motors and additional Johnson Evinrude OB models using the same starter relay configuration in the ignition system. Installation involves disconnecting the battery, removing the old solenoid mounting hardware, transferring any wiring harness connections to the new unit while observing polarity markings, and securing the assembly before testing cranking operation. Always verify terminal torque specifications to maintain reliable electrical contact under vibration. Marine environments expose electrical components to moisture, vibration, and temperature extremes that accelerate wear on starter relays. Regular inspection helps identify early signs of failure such as corrosion on terminals or weakened coil response. Users often notice delayed engagement or repeated clicking sounds when the solenoid begins to degrade. Replacing the unit promptly avoids stranding situations on the water and protects the starter motor from excessive current draw that could occur with a faulty relay.
