I have a 1997 25hp Johnson pull-start outboard, model J25REUM. Is it possible to add a starter and convert it to electric start? If so, what all would be involved?

Re: Johnson Conversion?

Possible, probably. Practical? Probably not. Just a quick look suggests that you would need a flywheel and stator, plus the starter and everything to install and hook it up. And I haven't even looked at the "gotchas" you might run up against.

That would be a deep pockets project unless you can find a parts motor to strip.
