I have a '86 30 hp manual

I have a '86 30 hp manual start Evenrude. A buddy of mine gave me a '88 20 hp Johnson electric start motor with a burnt piston. I'm trying to decide weather to fix the 20 hp and sell or part it out. Then I thought it sure would be nice (if I parted out) to have electric start on my 30 hp. The motors look very similar and all the mounting brackets/holes are identical. The only difference I can see is more electrical wiring and plugs. Has anyone tried this or should I just keep pull starting my 30 hp? Thanks for your time.

" Martman;The starter motor will work,however some of the safety features may not,allowing you to start your motor WFO/WOT in gear or in neutral,your wire colors should be the same.BE VERY CAREFUL "
