I just searched thru 61 pages of 22 threads and didn’t even come close to finding an answer to my problem which is finding a starter bracket that will fit my 1969 Fastwin 18hp motor. I want to convert to electric start. Model is 18902E. The kit from Evinrude is 563 dollars. I paid 475 for the motor. The kit is out of the question. Dealers have given me three part numbers of brackets that will fit: 0317328 or 126050 or 0126256. I have a picture that I found on the internet of the exact same motor with an electric starter bracket mounted on it that is not any of these numbers. The parts “expert” looked at the picture and said it would not fit my motor! I showed the picture to another marine mechanic and he said it should fit, and the bracket was common. I don’t want to buy a problem; however, I do want to convert to electric start. Many postings on Ebay show starter brackets that have come off 40hp engines and they say they will work on 15 hp 20 hp, 25hp, 30hp and of course 40hp. The dealers say they won’t and that I must have the correct part. Are there a range of brackets that will convert to my motor either straight up or with a little modification? All the holes on the brackets seem to be the same. The solenoid I would like to mount on or near the bracket for maintenance sake. I’m still looking. If anyone has the part I’m willing to purchase at a fair price.
