Remote start on Yanmar 2GM20?
- Thread starter Tally Ho
- Start date
Thanks all. Yes, I was trying to jump across the 2 big lugs, and would get a whir out of the starter, but it would not engage. I looked again, and could not identify the other connection...the starter is facing away from my access panel, behind the alternator, and just hard to see. I will have to get an inspection mirror and see if i can see where to connect.
I am hauling out next Saturday, and implored my old boat partner to give me a hand with the haulout, so I have an extra pair of hands to start the engine while I keep the pink pop antifreeze sucking into the system.
But I will figure this out eventually !

Greg, below the big red cable lug on starter is a slightly smaller lug [black wire], which is blocked from view, is the trigger to the start solenoid. Put a +12V to it will activate the solenoid which in turn switch the big red lug +12V to starter motor (wired internally). The grey unshielded wire to left of big lug is ground [I believe][-12V][return].

be sure you buy a MOMENTARY switch not one that stay ON after you press it to start your engine. MO start switches come in 20 amp i do believe since i had one on my yan 2 gm 2 boats ago...
Auto parts stores have them. Trigger switch with two wires terminated in alligator clips of some kind.
thanks @MitchM. That is what I am using...I am not sure what amperage, but it is a trigger switch, exactly as
@Mark Maulden describes below.
I will be back out the boat later this week getting sails down for haulout on Saturday and will have another look.
