Mercury – Remote Control Attaching Kit | 880093A2

The Mercury Remote Control Attaching Kit is a clean, OEM solution for converting select Mercury outboards from tiller operation to a remote mechanical control setup. Designed for compact boats and helm-based control layouts, this kit provides the necessary hardware to relocate throttle and shift control from the tiller handle to a remote control at the helm.

Using OEM conversion hardware helps keep mechanical control installations properly aligned after conversion. When installed with correct cable selection and adjustment, this attaching kit supports smooth control travel, predictable throttle and shift response, and consistent everyday operation without the need for improvised brackets or hardware.

FAQs

1) What engines does the Mercury Remote Control Attaching Kit 880093A2 fit?
It is commonly used on Mercury FourStroke 40 HP and 50 HP carbureted outboards with 2-cylinder or 3-cylinder configurations being converted to remote mechanical throttle and shift control.

2) What type of control systems is this kit designed for?
This kit is designed for mechanical (cable-driven) throttle and shift systems.

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

4) Is this kit intended for tiller-to-remote conversions only?
Yes. This attaching kit is used when converting a tiller-steer outboard to a remote control configuration.

5) Why use an OEM Mercury attaching kit instead of aftermarket parts?
OEM Mercury hardware is designed around factory control geometry, helping support consistent fit, smoother operation, and reduced need for frequent readjustment.
