nice boat !!

Selenoid wise ….may be able to just add a resistor (ballast) in series with the choke selenoid control wire.
That would drop the voltage down to 6 volts and keep it from frying.

If any AOMCI member could just measure the current draw at 6 volts in a working (operated) 6v selenoid it would be easy to calculate the true resistance value (while magnetized) Using V/I=R

EX: if a 6 volt supply draws .5 amps (while magnetized) that would would mean 12 ohms .

Any 12 ohm resistor capable of carrying .5 amps (as in the calculated example) wired in series with the selenoid will drop a 12volt supply down to 6 volts on the selenoid

Joining AOMCI has priviledges 🙂
