Converting from just a pull start to electric start.

Hi, I have a 1969 Johnson 25hp outboard with just a pull starter. I was wondering if it can be converted over to an electric starter? I'm getting a lot older and it's getting harder and harder to pull it. The model number is 25R69B
Thank you,

Many of them left the factory with electric start.----Best to find a donor motor with all the bits.---22 cubic inch models from 1960 to 76 will have what you need.---18 / 20 / 25 HP.
 
Sorry but I need to ask. Does the donor motor have to be from the same year DON'T REPLY!!! I missed the part that you wrote that said 1960-1975. ☺️

Actually, there were significant changes over the years, mainly where the parts are located. But you can adapt most any of them, as suggested.
