    Hydraulics, need a hand on identifying a part

    First up I’m working remote, 400km round trip to the closest town that doesn’t really have a hydraulic shop and

    We cannot remove the only working solenoid as the boat is in service doing a harvest for the next month.

    Have removed a hydraulic valve off a boat that is no longer in service, however solenoids are rusted and have had no luck removing them.

    Where do I start searching/identifying the solenoid??

    The grey plug will usually have rated voltage written on it and type, E.G. DC or AC, the rest of it is going to be difficult.

    That grey plug is a fairly universal one used.

    What liquid is it for?

    Cheers

    I have 12v going through the switch to the solenoid….thanks for the tip on the type.

    Hydraulic Oil, it’s the tilt trim for a hydraulic outboard…..yep you read that right, a hydraulic outboard.

    Okeydoke….

    Grey plug has the following info
    mPm A-14

    Also learnt I’m looking for a replacement coil and not the solenoid

    Have started soaking the old coils in WD40…in the hope I can remove.

    I assume some measurements of the coil may help length and I think o can measure the ID

    Send the pictures to the closest hydraulic workshop/supplier.
    If you don't like trucks, stop buying stuff.

    Looks like the switching solenoids on this one I have for a spare for the hydraulic winch I put on my 6x6 camper.(since sold).
