FAQs

1) What engines does the Mercury Remote Conversion Kit 8M0062241 fit?
It fits Mercury FourStroke 4 HP, 5 HP, and 6 HP tiller-steer outboards 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) Is this kit used for electric-start or manual-start engines?
It is used when converting tiller-steer engines to remote control, regardless of start method, provided the engine uses compatible mechanical controls.

4) Does this kit replace the control box?
No. This kit provides the engine-side conversion hardware. A compatible helm or side-mount remote control is required separately.

5) Why use an OEM Mercury conversion kit instead of aftermarket hardware?
OEM Mercury rigging kits are designed around factory control geometry and travel. This helps support consistent lever feel, reliable shifting, and accurate throttle response while reducing fitment and setup issues.
