Spin-Flavor precession of solar neutrinos is examined in the context of the solar neutrino problem. For neutrinos with transition magnetic moments of 10^ {-11}muB and a solar magnetic field of 100 kilogauss confined to the solar convective zone, it is found that the counting rate at the Chlorine detector can be reduced, beyond the amount due only to flavor precession, by as much as fifty percent. The counting rate at the Kamiokande detector is similarly reduced, and therefore this appears not to be the explanation of the possible time variation in the Chlorine counting rate. It is shown that a Majorana neutrino transition magnetic moment of 10^{-12}mu_{B }--a moment too small to affect the counting rates--can result in a measurable amount of electron antineutrinos at SNO and BOREXINO. These electron antineutrinos can result by vacuum oscillation from muon antineutrinos or by resonant production from muon neutrinos in a twisting magnetic field.
