Abstract:

A starter for a rope pull outboard motor that may be quickly and readily attached to the top of the motor housing. The device includes an outboard motor rope pulling member that can be spring-loaded by a manually operable means after which the handle of the outboard motor rope may be connected to the rope pulling member. Novel guiding means is used for the rapid movement of the rope pulling member to quickly pull the rope to start the motor when the spring biased rope pulling member is freed. A shock absorber brings the rope pulling member to a resilient stop at the end of the movement of the member.
