Re: Electric start
okie, i have a 14 hp evinrude( same as 9.9/15) and , yes , i know you have a merc, but maybe this will help a lil, anyways, at least with my evinrude, i can simply purchase the starter and its already got the spot on the side of the block to bolt it on. check your block to see if you have these provisions near the flywheel. and it also depends alot on if the factory ever offered that hp rating with electric start, as they did with my 14 hp evinrude. if its possible, youll need <br />(1) starter<br />(1)set good thick cables for running to starter<br />(1)good battery, one that can take the dischareges over and over , since youd have to charge it at home..<br />(1)selonoid<br />as for the key switch, you could always just run a seperate pos+ wire from batt to selonoid with a momentary Push style button, usually red, for the starting functions, as this is how i have my 16 foot cc wired, and it works great, and i never lose the key !
