WaterMota Crossflow Starter Solenoid

The WaterMota Crossflow Starter Solenoid works in conjunction with the starter switch, starter motor and battery to run the starter motor when instructed by turning the key.

This starter solenoid is a close replica of the original solenoid which would have generally been supplied by the WaterMota factory.

Earthing the WaterMota Crossflow Starter Solenoid

A small modification is required when fitting this new solenoid. The original had an earth connection with a spade terminal, on the current model the earth wire needs to be connected to the metal body of the solenoid.

This is easily achieved by changing from the spade terminal to a ring terminal and placing the securing screw of the solenoid through the ring terminal to make a circuit, possibly adding a washer to secure a good, safe connection.

Which WaterMota engine is this suitable for?

The WaterMota solenoid is suitable for the majority of WaterMota Crossflow petrol engines including the WaterMota Sea Wolf Mk2 and WaterMota Sea Tiger Mk2.

The WaterMota Pre-Crossflow engine was generally fitted with the earlier starter solenoid featuring a manual push button.
