Thanks for the clarification Philip.
We are dealing with the problem not how things work.
it could be a combination of boat.If the solenoid is bad may result
on a spring fracture.

A small point:
A bendix spring and a solenoid are different methods by which the starter
motor pinion gear is made to engage the ring gear on the flywheel..
They are not used together, Both are systems whose purpose is to engage the
pinion gear with the flywheel on the engine.
A solenoid is a electro-magnetic device which drives the pinion into the ring
gear on the flywheel.
A bendix spring is a purely mechanical device relying on a loaded spring and
centrifugal force to do the job.
I believe what we are dealing with here is a solenoid.
