    electric starter kit upgrade for 2009 NISSAN 9.8

    Looking to upgrade my 9.8 Nissan 4-stroke from manual start to electric start - any one here have a pointer to a low cost source for a kit to do this? - already have installed the alternator/rectifier kit, so only need the parts relative to the starter upgrade itself.
