Just a curious question here.
I have a 25 merc with the factory shifter in handle. I love the shifter but when its cold it can be a real pain to idle sometimes. I happen to have a tiller that i bought with a pile of parts that is mercury tiller but has a conventional throttle only handle. I have heard that there are kits to make it have a shifter on the side of the motor but have no seen one. My motor has the rubber cover over where the shifter would mount, which i assume is for a remote shift hookup.
Just curious as to how much this would cost since i already have the tiller assembly? And is it as simple as removing the shift rod that runs to the throttle pully and attaching a lever instead.
Just to be clear i am not wanting to make this motor remote (steering wheel) controlled.
Thanks
