It might be a little tricky in your 12 foot tinny, but I know it can be done. Stand with one foot aft of the rear seat and one foot forward. Lean sideways toward the motor and grab the starter handle with both hands. Simultaneously and somewhat forcefully, lean toward the bow and pull with both arms. Your legs do most of the work.

Not good if you have a bad back that can’t handle any twisting at all but there is not a lot of twisting involved.
