You know, I wish my Honda outboard had something like that. I know the newer ones do, but this ours is like a '94 or something. It's a 4-stroke 25hp 3-cylinder pull starter. Half the people I know can't start the darn thing cold
. However, I can start the backup motor, the Mercury 2-stroke 25hp 2-cylinder pull starter, with one arm...
