Buc, how about putting your wiring and solenoid and connections in your battery box. All you need is a small tractor battery. Should be plenty of room in an average size battery box.

Dale, that’s an intriguing idea. I wonder how long a lawn tractor battery would
hold up from partial discharge (no generator) and “boating action” on the waves?
Probably not as long as a marine starting battery, but maybe okay. ……. heck,
I’m lucky if I can get one last three years on my mower.
One might want to make sure you have no loose wires inside the battery box,
and that the box is vented.

I looked at the Uxcell boxes last night, but from what I’m seeing, if they’re small enough “square”,
then they aren’t deep enough for the solenoid.

Will search for computer project boxes…… another good idea. Thanks!
