tiller conversion

I am determined to find a 2 stroke 35 hp tiller e-start if I have to put it together myself. And by myself I mean taking a lot of parts to a mechanic after i realize I don't know how to do it.

The problem is the early '80s Johnson part numbers are near impossible to figure out. I'm eyeballing an '83 remote 35hp electric and a scrap '82 25 hp rope tiller. The part numbers for the steering bracket are the same but, the number for an electric 25 bracket is different. What the heck.

I don't know enough to help you other than I was looking for the same engine as an upgrade from my 20 hp electric start evinrude. A 35 pull start came up at a price I couldn't ignore and after owning it for a while, I didn't miss the electric start that much. And as for battery charging, you have to be on a big lake for it to charge any significant amount. Good luck with your quest. They are good motors for sure.
