Make sure you get the controls that go with that engine the controls should have the key switch @ the trim unit are also built in the control handle.

THX BigBux<br /><br />Your steering will work fine.<br />You will need to change the controls completely.<br /><br />The shifter will have the control cable assembly built into them as well as the ignition switch. Depending on the year. The tilt and trim switch will either be in the control box or it will mount onto your dash.<br /><br />You will also have to do some fibreglass repair on the back of your boat. <---fill some holes. As there Merc will mounting brackets will be different.<br /><br />TMD
