Hi Daniel, have been checking cabling hehind controlpanel and around engine and looks okay. Pushbutton also okay (new) but will have to take off heatexchanger to check/replace shutdown solenoid part if it have el-supply. It might be a good thing to replace with a manual cable and remove el-cables. This a nice winter-job this year, not least to have the heatexchanger off and back on. Many thanks your advise.

I agree that a cable from the cockpit sometimes can be more reliable but you could very well have both and I would suggest that a safety direct cable should act on a valve on the diesel feed pipe near the tank - something that was not provided originally in our boats. |

You may not know this, but electricity and saltwater do not like each other much. And then there is the KISS principle. Please consider to use a simple pull/push cable. Make sure the sheath and the wire inside are of non corroding materials and lubricate it before installation and then about every 20 years. You may be surprised how well that works |

It appeared solenoid unit was okay, reason for malfunction was the bracket for unit on motor-block was broken off, due corrosion/vibration. Put on manual cable from motor to cockpit which was not too bad to install. However, the cable brings with it engine knocking-sound to cockpit. hope this can be absorbed by rubber where cable is attached to motor. (fixed to motor at lifting eye aft part of block).
