    Joe, I don’t believe that is correct on the marine solenoids…they work just the same as the automotive. With a solenoid that has only one small terminal that terminal is powered by the key switch and the circuit is completed to ground internally. On the solenoids with two small terminals one terminal is grounded to the block/ground plate and the other is powered to activate it. I just went and grabbed one of my Evinrude service manuals to confirm.
