1959 Mark 58A Mercury starter upgrade

I own and in the process of restoring a 1956 Aristocraft Mahogany boat and the 1959 Mark 58A 45hp Mercury engine it was raced with. I dont feel like pull starting it when I'm finished. It has a pull start now so do any of you folks know what all that I would need to buy (somewhere) to do this? I'm not interested in making the engine recharge a battery but do want the option of a key start vs trying to pull start it as I'm a couple months shy of 68.
Any part numbers or leads on where to purchase would be highly appreciated.
 
I might have something, but the motor with electric start is still out in the back, under a tarp and covered with 2 feet of snow. Try calling Tim's Outboard in Hackensack MN. They may know how to direct you. Does your flywheel have a ring gear? Any photos? 218 682 2331 (Tim's)
