I don’t think I am being very clear so, I’ll try again. In the recent discussion about relays for the Gen/Shore switch over, it was mentioned there is a small relay near the water maker access panel that was a part of this discussion. I have a relay there. This is not the larger QUAI-GE Solenoid box (mine was in the engine room). But this picture was posted and resembles the relay I have in the port locker near the watermaker access panel as mentioned as part of the discussion.

 

 

I am trying to understand the purpose of this particular relay. Thanks.

 

 

 

With best regards,

 

Mark

Mark, The QUAI-GE Solenoid/Relay for Onan/Shore Power was located there during the production of pre-SM2k.

What is the purpose of this relay please?

 

I replaced Gen/Shore auto switch with a manual rotary switch due to two failures and an almost fire. Is this something I also need to remove?

I am 95% sure that a standard automotive relay is used in the Onan.

Based on schematic K1 and K2 are equal relays? Do you know model and manufacturer of the relays?
