    Here are a couple of photos of a 1956 Evinrude 15 HP powerhead with electric start.  It is sitting on a 1956 Johnson 15 HP leg but no matter.  The starter for 1956  motors is six volt.  IMHO there are no new six volt starters available.  I don’t think that the (1956) bracket that mounts the six volt starter will fit a 12 volt starter.  Distance between the starter to bracket mounting holes differs between 6V and 12V starters.

    Maybe a bracket for a 1957  Evinrude 18HP which holds a 12 volt starter would work,  I don’t know.

    Best chance to get the necessary parts to go to a six volt starter would be to find an electric start parts motor.
