Simple at motor electric starter system for a 1964 Evinrude 18hp Question

[cajuncook1]

Ok, a friend of my father-in-law’s called and wanted to know if the starter bracket, solenoid, safety switch, and electric starter from 1974 Johnson 25hp would fit a 1964 Evinrude 18hp. The set up would be a simple start at motor option without the electric choke.

I think it would be fine, but really wanted know for sure. I can’t find if an accessory kit for 1964 Evinrude 18hp with part numbers would have the same matching parts numbers.

Thanks,
David T.

I’m pretty sure it will Dave. I’ve converted several motors to electric start but I’ve lost track of which bracket came from which motor. The only difference in them was the solenoid mounting location. Some had the solenoid on the starboard bracket while others had it by the starter on the port bracket.

I have a few 18’s- 20’s apart right now and can check several starter brackets later today for you.

From the ’63 Johnson accesories catalogue:

Mumbles, that is very nice of you! I would appreciate your assistance.

Cheers,
