Honda BF50 Tiller to Remote conversion

Post by Glide47 »

Does anyone know if there is a kit available to convert a tiller model outboard to remote steering??

Is this close to what you are looking for?:

On edit:
Well, duh, those are throttles with trim controls.
But explore that link (the Honda site) for steering linkage kits, etc.

As far as I know, such a kit does not exist. You can get kits to go the other way, from remote to tiller. I think it would be very expensive to buy the individual parts new... in additional to the remote box listed above you would need throttle and steering linkage parts and the mounting bracket and motor for the power tilt/trim. I think your best bet would be to scrounge around for a "dead" engine that you can scrap for parts.
