Mercury – Remote Control Attaching Kit | 880093A1

The Mercury Remote Control Attaching Kit is a clean, OEM solution for converting select tiller-steered Mercury outboards to a remote mechanical control setup. Designed for compact boats and small console layouts, it supports connecting the engine’s throttle and shift to a helm or side-mount control for a more organized driving position.

Built specifically for Mercury applications, this attaching kit helps maintain proper mechanical alignment during the conversion process. When installed with correct cable selection and adjustment, it supports smooth control travel, predictable throttle and shift response, and dependable operation without the need for improvised hardware.
