Thank you for this video. I always knew it must be possible to electric start this motor. I have one but a little newer (2016) and would dearly love to install electric start but I don't know where to get the ring gear and starter motor etc. Can you please tell us what ring gear, starter motor and other bits you used? Perhaps off another, bigger, Yamaha motor? Thank you VERY much.
This is the only resource online I can find about electric start on the 8hp 2 stroke. I want to convert my own motor but am stuck. Can you please advise me whether this was a DIY install or not? If DIY, which flywheel and other parts are compatible? Thank you very much.
NICE VIDEO. I BUY A YAMAHA 8 HP 3 DAYS AGO. AND I LOOK AT YOUR VIDEOS. I WANT TO PUT THE ELCTRIC START TO THE ENGINE. WILL YOU INSTALL IT? 2008 8mhs yamaha mine !!
Out of all the 14 and 16 ft Aluminum boats you have ran over the years, when it comes to running on a big lake what is your top choice in length and hull shape and why?
