Reply To: Elect start

[olcah]

With apologies for the above post.  I have been working on a couple of 1956 15HP motors and should have read that the questions were about a 1955 15 HP.

I did look at some pages from a 1955 brochure that I had downloaded from the “old OMC” website.  It appears that the factory did not offer electric start on Evinrude 15 HP until 1956.  It should be checked to see if the 1955 crankcase will accept the 1956 bracket that holds the starter.  (Likely it will not.)

Sorry for the confusion.
