More info on the solenoid:

Also goes by the White Rodgers part number 586-902

Sometimes referred to as "DC power contactor"

 

As of today:

In stock at Mouser Electronics for $41.36

Or Allied Electronics for $44.15

 

Robot guys use these a lot. The key think to look for is "586" in part number, as this defines the mechanism, and then a "-105111-x" or "-902" suffix. This denotes a 12 volt coil. There are a bunch of other 586 contactors out there with coils that operate on something other than 12V. For instance, the 586-906 is the same thing, but it requires 36 V to actuate. No good for us!

Added a second battery after I got stuck a longway down a remote beach with a dead battery.

Wasnt much of a choice in places to put it so out came the headlight wash bottle and the pump.
