Its not too bad but you should try it at home before you have to do it out on the water some day. I made my own pull rope using a foot long piece of 1" dowel for a handle (so I could get both hands around it...) and about 6' of 1/4" high strength nylon rope. The little handle and rope they give you in the kit bag is pretty hard on your hands and you can't get a good grip on it. I found that rocking around in a boat on the water the last thing I wanted to do was lose my grip trying to start that V6 motor. Remember to turn the key on though.

kb just watch the older moters -1990 or older- they love kicking back. nothing sucks as bad as being snatched off the back of the boat.by the moter..had a 65 horse "scott" do it to me a few times..
