I see a problem with this solenoid. It's rated at 12 V (I assume for the coil, but maybe for the contactor too?) Even if it's good for 36 V., what about the common ground? I would be using two power supplies and don't plan on connecting their grounds. Also, this is unclear whether one coil would be "on" during forward. Others like it are. I have found another solution, the Cole Hersee 24400. I would have to use two, but both would be off during forward. Unfortunately, it's a steel case. Not good for marine. Also, should one fail I would blow a big fuse pretty quickly.
Bruce, here's a link for your side of the Atlantic, with a wiring diagram that may be useful: http://www.texasindustrialelectric.com/relays_24450.asp
If you can locate a golf cart service place nearby you'll almost certainly be able to pick one up there, as the majority of golf carts have them, I believe.
