9.9 & 15 hp outboards 1993 – 2007 (Converting to Electric Start) |

This conversion is less confusing finding the right parts as there was only one version of this series of motors
Converting over to a electric start, charging system : However this conversion is a lot more complicated as far as parts needed than 74-92 motors & I see no real reason here to NOT go the full blown charging system here. Simply because it being a newer motor & the under the flywheel parts needed for the electronics charging will also be more readily available.

The starter motor mounts are already incorporated into the engine block & the flywheel cover also has provisions for the starter gear clearance .
However the starter button is buried at the base of the tiller handle & under the shift lever. Stuffing the new wiring harness into the small hole in the handle base & still having enough room for the button unit can be challenging. This button incorporates a neutral safety switch with the shift lever, by not allowing proper alignment with the button to enable the switch if the shift lever is not in neutral. The switch itself is a simple contact going to a starter solenoid farther back on the motor.

Here I suggest you try to purchase cannibalized parts off a donor motor, as if you purchased all the parts new separately, it would possibly not be a worthwhile project.
