If your owners manual has a wiring diagram (the manual that came with my 09 20 BFD doesn't) that should show you that you need to wire in a 0 awg cable for the motor and at least a relay to fire it off. Ideally a fuse and a neutral switch should be used as well for safety.

However, I shopped and shopped and shopped and shopped for my electric start 20 because the cost of the starter alone discouraged me from doing a conversion although I did consider it.+

If you can find a reasonably priced, used starter then the rest looks pretty easy.
