hi could anyone tell me what is required to add electrics to a manual start engine
i.e. for powering gps and fishfinder and possibly making it electric start

it has been discussed before so the search tool will bring up threads if you go looking - but obviously the specifics depend on the engines.

The cost of converting is usually very high - and you may be better off buying a 2nd hand one with the features you want and selling yours on. You might be lucky and find there is already a "lighting coil" on the engine and you can tap into this (it may need a regulator etc - but that is much cheaper).
