Electric starting

[Dennis1022]

I have a 1971 25Hp Evinrude 2 stroke. My question is can I get a switch for this motor, to make it a electric start. I don't mind using a transom mount steering instead of center console. I just have a hard time pulling the cord!
Thank You
Dennis

I believe that you can. Contact Evinrude and they will set you up with the kit. I have a 25 hp 'rude and it is electric start.

Capt.Ahab:
I seen on (www.go2marine.com ) they have a kit for this motor and it sells for $512.00 was 625.00. I just can't afford paying this much! How much do you think the cost will be? Another thing are they hard to convert over from pull to electric? Also I like to thank you for this information you have given me!
Thanks
Dennis

You can add electric start on your outboard from mostly used parts and a new solenoid. I have looked up the stuff to add to my 72 20hp Johnson. As long as your flywheel has the starter teeth, you will need a bracket (off like motor up to late'70), a starter (dont remember years), a Ford style starter switch, push button switch and some wireing. Check out https://www.themarinedoctor.com/cgi-bin/YaBB.pl/YaBB.pl?board=JE. Do some research on there for part interchange (year models and hp size). I found all my info there some time ago. Then watch ebay for the starter and bracket. Ive found them on there for less than $150.

I dont know if this one is the correct one, it looks close. Do some interchange research. Might just be the ticket!

Thanks for getting this web site! Haven't gone all over it yet but I'm working on it!
But still talking the price kit is $500.00. I hope I can find cheaper kit or a sale somewhere!
