Hello,
i have been asked by a mate who has mobility problems to complete the build of his Aeromarine 50: Apache,he wants to install an electric start for the motor as pulling a pull start is going to be very difficult,we have the option of using a Zen ,or possibly buying a strimmer engine that already has this option,
can any of you guys offer us any help,contacts web address etc,
thanks in advance Euan
also any UK boaters iam after a mono hull suitable for a small strimmer engine,for my daughter,any condition considered pm me with details thanks again Euan.

I bought a electric start Homelite motor complete off ebay. paid about $50.00 for it. Have plans to fit it in a boat as well.
Good Luck!!

I purchased one of the FEMA starters for my PROBOAT shockwave 55 form Hobby Lobby the (HLFE9713 ) compact starter for Zenoah 23/26 and needless to say I had issues. The cluth bearing in that system is not rated for rpm over 8000 and the bearing failed on the second run. For the high rpm engines, you need the kit for the helicopter version. It has a smaller supported cluth bearing. Because of the trouble i ran into with the starter and getting parts for it, I decided to make my own and don't have the starter system completely developed but I do have an electrix kit that allows the the boat to be driven on electric power in the event of a stall or running out of fuel. I am having these made and you can purchse them from my website www.nshumway.com
