25 hp Evinrude electric starter question

[kisscouple]

Hello This is my first post on here and I hope someone on here can help me please I have a 1975 25hp evinrude outboard model 25502B its a pull start. Is it possible to put an electric start in it? Looks like holes for a bracket on the motor but I cant find a picture of one with electric starter to see the placement. Any and all help would be appreciated Thanks Bill

Conversion is pretty simple if you have a Factory Service Manual (www.outboardbooks.com), Bill. That will make clear what additional parts you need and where they go.

In the Top Secret File ^^^ there is a listing of salvage yards that can supply the key parts. Others you will want new.

Good luck.

of course there's the question of putting a $500 starter + $100 battery on a $300 motor....

Thanks guys. Ya 500 is quite a bit for it I did only pay 300 for the whole motor. Guess Ill watch the classifieds and look for mostly used stuff. Thanks again Bill
