Westerbeke 44B fuel shutoff solenoid

[AnnOMalleys]

I have a 44B with the manual pull chain fuel shutoff. Anyone have any idea how difficult it would be to retrofit with a fuel shutoff solenoid? It would be nice to be able to shut down the engine without having to go into the cabin to do it.

Either mount a generic pull solenoid, or mount a pull cable and run it up to the cockpit.

It would be very easy to retrofit, might have to knock up a mount out of a piece of sheet aluminum, but the solenoid is easy

My Perkins generator works that way. You need any pull solenoid and a place to mount somewhat in line with the lever movement.
