[QUOTE="Tango66, post: 464514, member: 24154"] Hi Dale, yes it was a private sale. I checked with Mercury online via the motor serial number and it is indeed an electric start (confirmed by seller). There is a male wiring harness from the control box (which includes a keyed ignition switch) to the engine and the engine has the female receptacle to plug the harness into. I was expecting to see either a battery cable or clear posts on the motor to connect battery wires to, but I don't see either (doesn't mean they are not there!). I will probably end up contacting a Mercury tech specialist, I was just hoping someone on this forum might have some insight on this. Thanks Tom (tango66) [/QUOTE]
