I have a 2004 M25C3 tohatsu 2 stroke outboard. It is a pull start. Due to shoulder issues, i'm thinking of converting to an electric start. What is the bare minimum I need to make the change. I have a battery on board that can be charged after each outing so a charging circuit isn't absolutely necessary, though would be nice. What would this cost, and can i do it myself. mechanically inclined. Thanks

Paul, is the conversion something a mechanically inclined, non motor repair technecian can do? I have the repair manual, but are there other things i need to know before a start this 25hp conversion?
 
Yes, it can be done by anyone with average-to-above-average mechanical ability, equipped with a decent set of tools, and the Factory service manual (skip the aftermarket books). It does take a significant amount of time to do the conversion, and requires diligence and patience while working on the motor. There are a lot of small parts, so it's best to study the service manual for a while (to see the differences between electric and rope-only models) before beginning.
