Solenoid replacement

I have ordered a new Blue Sea #9012 L-Series Solenoid for the ignition and a Cole Hersee 24143 for the Boost.  What type of solenoid do I need for the start solenoid which is to the right of the boost solenoid? I am replacing all these solenoids and I had the alternator rebuilt due to corrosion issues.

Sorry I guess I can't tell my left from my right.  I need the specs for the solenoid to the LEFT of the boost solenoid.  It has much smaller wires connected to its terminals.  It looks to me like both solenoids are identical but looks can be deceiving.

They should be the same.

Just make sure you do the research and get the latest model. As some members have posted, the reliability of the Cole-Hersee has gone down a bit. Do a search on the forum for specs, part numbers as well as photos. Key words: boost, solenoid, ignition,  200 amp, continuous, duty, heavy . They are available online at various sites and ebay. Watch for parts stores that may try and sell you a discontinued model.

If they are the same like Barry said, I'd go with the Blue Sea #9012 L-Series.  Probably would never have to worry about it again.  Can you post a pics and part #s for what is in there now?

OK, here is the latest conventional solenoid that will replace the factory OEM. Specs and photo at: Solenoids & Relays | Steel & Phenolic Body Solenoids24213 | Cole Hersee -

The two solenoids that I removed from below the isolator have no markings at all.  They look like original 1997.
