I have a Mercury 9.9hp 1999 model 2cycle, pull start. Wondering if
there
is anyway to convert it to electric start? This question may sound
crazy..
but I realize that my pull-start snow blower can do that!! They sell a
kit
that converts the pull start motor into electric start. Not sure is it
possible with outboard.. Any thoughts?
it is possible but the expense makes it not worth it. not only do you
require a starter and the electrical to go along with that, solenoid,
battery cables etc. you also need to replace your flywheel with one
that has a ring gear.
My 1986 Mariner has everything but the voltage regulator and the starter of
an electric start. The flywheel is toothed. So maybe that is all you need
also for a 1999.
