pull start to electric start

[redlinj]

I have a 1971 mercury 20 hp, serial # 3139888. I'd like to change this over to electric start but can't seem to find any starters listed for that year. I can see on the engine that it appears that a starter can be put on, but again, can't locate one. What will fit? Thanks

If possible?? the price to do so will cost more than the motor is worth.

OK, but please explain. Thanks

You need the conversion kit, and if you can find one it may be expensive or a donor motor.

So there is a conversion kit for this motor? Can't seem to locate anything before the '80's. Any leads?
