I have a 1984 Johnson 35 HP outboard on a 16 foot Klamath center console I want to use for crabbing and hunting.
I am 62 years old and was thinking about going to electric Start.
I found a starter solenoid and starter motor online for a reasonable amount but don't know about other brackets or other hardware that would be needed?
Also the engine currently has a flywheel on it but is a pull start motor.
Do I need a different flywheel for electric Start?
Wiring I can handle and the boat already has a battery for the marine radio and fish finder.
Do I need a second separate battery? An alternator to charge the battery?
Is this a good idea?
It starts now without a lot of effort.
