You might move/trade up to a 9.9 with electric start & built-in
alternator by the time you fabricate the brackets & source all of the
needed parts.

Agreed!

Trying to mount a starter motor on an engine that wasn't designed for
it is a royal PITA. Another thing to note is that seeing you engine
wasn't designed for electric start, does the flywheel even have teeth
on it? if not, then that means you'd have to come up with a different
flywheel also.

While I've never done it, I've seen a few done with lawnmower
starters. Didn't look that hard.- Hide quoted text -

possibly not, Tom, then again, a small outboard starter looks like a
lawn mower starter, too. The trick I suppose , really wouldn't be
trying to find a gear to match, but rather to find a compatable
starter and make a mount. ant the same time finding a correct
tolerance to mesh the gears. = PITA
