I have a mid- eighties Merc 18hp xd in like new condition. The motor currently is a pull start. Has anyone converted your portable outboard with a pull start over to an electric start, and roughly what would the cost be, to see if it was worth it. I believe I read an article where if the motor had electric start as an option,the conversion would be possible. Thanks. Kdawg
