Johnson 15 conversion to electric start/ charging

[Lowranger]

1989 Johnson 15 JRLCEC. I'd like to convert to electric start and add battery charging capability. New parts about $580.00 former and $85 latter. Too spendy for me. I'd like to go used. Should I search for a complete "assembly" or try to piece it together wherever I find individual components? OR, would I be better off swapping mine for one that"s already "electrified" ?

Check around the boat yards...might be some used parts laying around. Check eBay yet? Stepping up a few years is not a bad idea. Lotta ways to go.

Agreed. Let the search begin.

You could go back to 83 or so but can't go any newer than a 1992 as they changed in 93
