mrhookup Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 Mike, I'm about to go through the same thing with a 1996 40/30 Johnson jet myself (same as an Evinrude), but I also need to convert it from pull start to electric. Not 100% sure on what it will cost just yet but I'm hoping to keep it under $1000 if I go with brand new components. I plan to talk to the guys at Vans Sports Center to see what the cost of having them do it is versus just purchasing the necessary parts and then go from there. They work with a ton of Jet motors and do good work from what I've heard, they're just not always the cheapest. http://www.vanssports.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highpointdf Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 Van's would be my recommendation as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrhookup Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 Mike, update for you. I stopped by vans yesterday and the electric starter conversion kit was around $450 for the parts. They ball parked an additional $250-350 to do the conversion for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
