    Electric connection on SIMMS fuel pump

    I have a Simms P5519/2 on my Ford 2725E. It has this connector which is not wired to any switch on my panel. I guess it has something to do with the fuel supply but need more info. Please...

    Vetus Alexander Windlass

    Just a quick video to show how the dc motors runs fine in one direction but when the solenoid reverses the polarity, there is just the sound of silence! First DC motor I have come across in my +50 years that can´t be reversed.

    Yes I know the solenoid is very important and I know that I have the right model. It is called Lewmar P/N 68000939 and it can handle any 2 wire motor. And it works fine shifting polarity on the 2 output terminal studs. But my motor is only rotating in one direction and not the other.

    New Swedish member with Dutch Gruno 1050

    Dear all. I bought this 10 ton 36feet Dutch steel cruiser last autumn and have enjoyed every day since. Great boat in very good condition and performes well along the sometimes windy Swedish west coast. My biggest problem is the instrumentation on the Ford Lehman 2725e. The motor itself runs...
