ArdWrknTrk Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 Thanks a lot for looking it over Gary. I guess technically you don't have to depress the clutch when engaging the OD but some have said it slams pretty hard in a manual. With the auto brain box in Camano the 'engaged' light comes on a split second before the OD engages so you can let off the gas a bit to ease the shift. Interested in how Jonathan uses his behind a stick so will tag him. On the switch I have a Cole Hersee M486 Pull-Type Momentary Switch. You're right that there don't seem to be many options so was glad to find a Cole Hersee one. Never found the specs on it but assuming it can handle 3A. Littlefuse rates it at 10A 12V and 5A 24V. These type of switches are pretty common for sailboats to start the auxiliary engine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott - I've always like self-latching relays. They are simple and work, so are a good solution for this. Well done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Jim! Gary - this is the first time I've had a need for a latching relay but am excited to wire it up and test it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
