Re: starting go-devil Just get ready to move when it starts. Remember when you pull the cord your not just turning the motor over your spining the prop in the water as well. Hope it's not a stupid answer:-)

Re: starting go-devil Tie a rope in your boat with a loop that slides over the handle to hold the handle down and prop out of the water.

Re: starting go-devil You're go-devil should have a mercury switch. Its a 1 inch tube like object. Though i don't recomend moving it, you can reposition it to start the motor in the water.

Re: starting go-devil When I have to use the pull chord, I usually tilt motor up so that I can stand on the tiller handle. This way you can use the tiller a leverage. Usually starts with on pull.
