Mercury – Remote Kit | 895284A02

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

Using a dedicated OEM conversion kit helps maintain proper control geometry after the transition from tiller steering. When installed with correct cable selection and adjustment, this kit supports predictable throttle and shift response, consistent cable travel, and reliable operation during everyday use, including docking and low-speed maneuvering.

Key Features

Important Notes

• Fitment can vary by engine family and rigging configuration
• Confirm exact outboard model and existing control setup before ordering
• Installation typically requires standard mechanical cable adjustment and careful linkage alignment during rigging
  
  

FAQs

1) What engines does the Mercury Remote Kit 895284A02 fit?
It is commonly used on Mercury FourStroke BigFoot outboards in the 75 HP and 90 HP range equipped with electric start and carbureted engines.

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

3) Does this kit include the remote control box?
No. This kit includes engine-side conversion hardware only. 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 remote kit instead of aftermarket conversion parts?
OEM Mercury conversion components are designed to preserve factory control geometry and cable travel, helping support smoother operation, predictable response, and long-term reliability.
