I just had it done by East Fork Pro Marine in Hamlin NY this spring.  Install looked pretty easy.  The pain in the butt part was bleeding the air out of the system.

I've done both my boats so I could add autopilot pretty easy one with power assist and one without. Alls you need is time and money

The controlling factor for the ease of installation is if there is enough room to "piggyback' the new hydraulic cylinder onto the existing I/O steering cylinder

We had to drill a hole in my stringer to get it to fit.
