Wesmar Bow Thruster - Replace Solenoid or Rebuild

[Hat52MY]

I few years back, I took the 4 solenoids apart for the Wesmar Bow Thruster (13hp, 24volt) when the solenoids where getting sticky. Cleaned the four solenoid internal coils, springs, flipped the washers and the thruster was back to working - good as new. The solenoids are getting "sticky" again. Was curious if anyone knows a good cross reference for a Cole Hersee replacement solenoid (Wesmar # 49.02011.0) or a rebuild kit to replace the 4 Internal coils, springs, washers?

Surely I’m not the only one to rebuild/replace the solenoids on a wesmar bow thruster???

OK, it took some digging but I was able to find replacement parts for the AC Delco (1119866) solenoids. Some of the parts are extremely hard to find (detail below), but are available. I found two companies with new stock (Made in the USA) vs ones made in china. In lieu of rebuilding, I decided to replace all 4 with new. Sharing the information below for future reference on the forum.

Those look almost identical to our parallel solenoids.
