Evinrude 18hp electric start

[Beedle]

Hey guys I'm working on a old evinrude 18hp I believe it's maybe from the 70's I haven't verified the year yet but I'm trying to convert this thing to electric start my old shoulder ain't what it used to be can anyone help me figure out what bracket I need to locate and does anybody know where I could possibly find one I have a starter off of a donor 35hp evinrude but I have no idea what exactly I'm looking for on eBay any advice would be greatly appreciated

Go to Salvage Yards at the top of this forum and check with some of them for the parts you need.

You need a bracket off a 22 cubic inch block.-----Marketed from about 1957 to 1976.------Marketed as an 18 / 20 / 25 HP.------I do not believe a starter off a 35 HP will fit.

Racerone judging from the pictures I have found online it looks like the starter mounts on the opposite side on the smaller engines

The starter mounts on the front starboard side of the 22 cubic inch engines.------Do your research / shop carefully young man.

sure would help to know the yr/model. Look on the top or side of the mounting bracket.

The basics will be a starter and bracket, and an outboard solenoid. From there, depends on what serves your purposes. I have a conversion with starter operation mounted at the transom.

i think the bracket may still available at 300 bucks, used run around half that. very popular mod on those 22 cubers so it's a supply and demand thing. a salvage yard knows what the bracket is worth. do yourself a favor and track down a non running 15, 18, 20, or 25 hp from the same era with the starter and bracket on the cheap and come away with a nice little parts haul too.
