Aux outboard; tick
I did wonder about the pull cord, ours is an 85hp so maybe I'll just forget about that.
Good idea on the boot bag.

I have started a Mercury 75 by pull cord when the battery died, but admittedly it was still hot from running. Unfortunately, I didn't have a camera with me at the time!
