Can a mower run under water with a Snorkel?

Yeah you can do it with a normal high current switch but doing that means you have a very high current traveling very close to you, if it got wet enough the full current capacity could travel through the water and the second you touch that switch, you'll get fried.

That technically is no reason to use a solenoid. But it's the safest way when dealing with high currents. Remember, It's the Current that harms and kills you, Not Voltage.

Voltage sure stings you tho

Not really. 12 volts doesnt't have the push to do anything to you. Go outside right now and touch both terminals on your battery at the same time. Nothing will happen. body resistance is 1 mega ohm, then according to ohm's law (V=I*R) it would take much more than 12v to create a dangerous current (I>0.5amp), with that data (V=12v and R=1Mohm) the current would be 0.012mA(0.000012A) and thats definetaly nowhere near dangerous

I was talking about tazer voltages ea coil. Which I don't remember how high a coil is in Volts, think its 40000v on a winter coil? But low amp.

Ah, ok then.

you can but you have to waterproof everything ( carb, electrical, etc...)
