Mercury – Remote Control Conversion Kit | Mechanical Control Conversion Hardware | 880095A12

This Mercury Remote Control Conversion Kit is a factory-style solution for converting select Mercury 20 HP FourStroke electric-start tiller outboards to a remote helm control configuration. It replaces the tiller handle and transitions throttle and shift operation to a helm-mounted mechanical control box, making it a practical option for boats moving to side-mount or console steering layouts.

Maintaining correct mechanical control geometry after conversion helps support smooth throttle and shift operation over time. With proper cable routing, adjustment, and routine inspection, this kit helps reduce stiffness, uneven movement, and premature wear, supporting reliable control response and long-term durability of mechanical linkages.

Key Features

• Tiller to Remote Conversion – Converts tiller steering to remote mechanical throttle and shift control

• Proper installation, routing, and adjustment are required to ensure smooth operation and safe performance
  
  

FAQs

1) What engines does the Mercury Remote Control Conversion Kit 880095A12 fit?
It is designed for Mercury FourStroke 20 HP electric-start, carbureted outboards being converted from tiller steering to remote mechanical throttle and shift control.

2) Is this kit intended for manual-start engines?
No. This kit is intended for electric-start engines only.

3) Does this kit include the remote control box?
No. This kit includes engine-side conversion hardware. A compatible helm or side-mount mechanical control is required separately.

4) What type of control systems does this kit support?
It supports mechanical (cable-driven) throttle and shift control systems.

5) Why use an OEM Mercury conversion kit instead of aftermarket parts?
Mercury OEM conversion components are designed around factory cable travel and linkage geometry, helping maintain predictable throttle and shift response while reducing long-term wear and setup issues.
