Re: Looking for electric starter for '78 Evinrude
First of all, this is not a parts swap board, so that won't work.<br /><br />Someone could however refer you to a parts source, but first we will need a bit more info.<br /><br />horsepower of motor?<br />model number of motor?<br />serial number of motor?<br /><br />While most mid sized motors can be converted to electric start, many smaller motors can not.<br />And while a starter conversion may be possible, there is the secondary question of a charging system to keep the battery charged.<br />Lastly, this won't be cheap if new parts have to be bought. It may be wiser to buy a new(er) motor that is equipped with electric start.<br /><br />An alternative, depending on finances, size of waters boated, ease of use, etc, may be to buy a large transom mounted trolling motor, and two deepcell batteries.<br /><br />Get back to us with your motor specifics.
