I am looking to find information regarding a possible conversion for my 8hp seahorse to electric start. does anyone know how i can find an aftermarket starter for this and/or if one is available. I am also looking for the remote steer system that will link up with this as well. Any help would be appreciated. :D

1 5034022 KIT, ELECT START 0 Info $977.34
The above is for 2004 10HP, but will give you an idea of the cost. Not sure there's a kit for you motor.

If your boat has a larger OB w/ steering or a sterndrive, this will work:

Don't know that there are any independent steering systems for such small motors, other than racing motors.

There are no kits listed for motors smaller than 9.9.

I have a 1984 brochure. The 9.9 was the smallest for which it was available as an accessory.

Remote control and steering kits were available and appear to still be available.

See the "OB Accessories" in the drop down list in the parts catalog at http://shop2.evinrude.com/ext/index.aspx?s1=bf6ad09c53cead335fcfd8a6471c0f7f
