Re: Electric start "back in the day"….

Thanks all….

Skanders: I had a ’69 Evinrude 25HP. It was manual start but it had a ring gear on the flywheel. I know the buyer converted it to electric start, so I’m sure yours can be done, too.

To the rest: great stories. The reason I asked was that I’m nearing completion of my ’57 Javelin restoration, and I’ve given up on finding the charger bracket I was seeking in this other thread: viewtopic.php?f=2&t=14799

Figuring I’ll need to do periodic charging, I asked the question…and what you’ve all told me is nice to hear! My boat lives on a trailer and enjoys daytrips only, except for 2 or 3 straight weeks in August when we’re in Maine and it’s at the dock. Sounds like daily use for those few weeks shouldn’t pose a problem. I’ll take my charger with me, of course, but I’m guessing I won’t need it…

Thanks again
