Emergency rope start for 66 9.5 sportwin

[Eckmann]

Is there an emergency rope for starting if your manuel rope breaks?
By the way this is the most useful forum since the Corvair forum that I found when we had our 66 Monza.

Thanks for being there.

Yes, it is a heavy duty nylon cord attached to a wooden handle, a handy item to keep in ones onboard toolbox. If you can't locate any, send me a Private message (click on my name to the left) as I have a few of them left in my remaining stock.

In a pinch....just about anything will do. I've started outboards with shoelaces before. Nothing quite like being a 3 hour boat ride to the nearest access, and punching your buddy in the face with the broken pull cord!!
