Can a 1958 10HP Johnson be converted to electric start?

[jim j geezer]

Model#: QD-19, Serial# 1703272
I recently sold the outboard in question to a young guy who bought it for his dad - who recently suffered a heart attack and doesn't have the upper body strength to pull-start it. It's a HELLUVA good motor! PLENTY of compression and runs *STRONG*. The only picture I took of it with the top off was while it was running, so I can't tell if the flywheel has teeth.
I'm trying to help the kid out.
Thanks.

I don't think there are any brackets available for an electric starter for that engine, maybe someone with more experience with that engine will come along and offer some advice.
