Regulator needed between Yamaha Outboard and Battery?

Been years since I've seen an electric starter on a 9.9, seems kind of silly, doesn't it.

Yes if the outboard is easy to get to and you have enough room and angle to pull the cord, but down a well or on the transom of a tri, remote start makes a lot of sense. The Yamaha 9.9 4 stroke high thrust is a fantastic auxiliary for cats and tris, reliable, very fuel efficient and where else can you get the whole engine, gearbox and propeller system new for less than £2000. Motored the whole length of the Canal du Midi, Lateral and Gironde from Port St Louis to Bordeaux with a 32 ft cat using a Yamaha 9.9 plus numerous English Channel crossings motoring most of the way. It's a beautiful bit of engineering.
