Replacing Starter Solenoid

My (? original) starter solenoid has died.
I have the older setup where the starter motor turns the fly wheel via a
drive belt, no "Bendix".

I've sourced a replacement here in Ireland via EBay -
STARTER SOLENOID JOHN DEERE PRESTOLITE OMC MERCURY MARINE 12V WOOD AUTO SND12337 788863062051 | eBay

It hasn't arrived yet so just wondering; the link describes it as "four
pole" - I suppose the fourth pole is earth?

(The other 3 are + live supply, + activation current from a switch &
power take-off for the starter motor.)

My plan is to just disconnect batteries, remove the old starter solenoid
& reconnect batteries.

(There are some other spade connectors on the old starter solenoid -
I'll have to figure out what they are for.)

What have I forgotten? :)

Thanks

Well I have replaced the starter solenoid and all
is now well.
Glad to relay (see what I did there) details if
anyone is interested.
