Mercury – Remote Kit | Mechanical Control Conversion Hardware | 895284A01

The Mercury Remote Kit is a factory-style OEM solution for converting select Mercury electric-start tiller outboards to a remote mechanical control setup. Designed for console and helm-based layouts, this kit supports removing the tiller assembly and transitioning throttle and shift operation to a remote control for a cleaner, more organized driving position.

Using OEM conversion hardware helps maintain proper control alignment after the transition from tiller steering. When installed with correct cable selection and adjustment, this kit supports smooth control travel, predictable throttle and shift response, and dependable long-term operation without improvised rigging solutions.
