Hi, new to board,but have been a guest for awhile,now i have a question an knew i could get a answer here. I have a 1983 wellcraft sunhatch 196 i recently bought it needs a little love and a new engine chevy 305,while removing engine i found like 8 ford type starter solinoids all wired into harness,why so many and is it really nessesary
 
FWIW, in addition to the trim functions, most marine engines use a slave solenoid to excite the starter. This eliminates any issues with voltage drops in long harnesses going to the helm....
