Re: Using a BRP Remote with a 2001 Tohatsu M40D?
Short answer: Probably, sort of. But there are a LOT of things to sort out. And you need more details.
Long answer:
As long as the control cables are standard Morse type (10-32 thread), and as long as the motor has the cable clevis fittings and brackets -- or you order them from a dealer, you will get throttle and shift, though the Johnson/Evinrude lever(s) may operate in reverse of what you expect, depending on the control. Some J/E controls were reversible, so you may be able to overcome that, maybe not.
If it's an electric start setup, you will need to sort out the wiring/harness, and may ultimately end up with a Tohatsu ignition switch. Some J/E switches were electric push-to-choke, some not. Also, some were magneto-ground to stop, some were coil-open to stop
Is the motor setup as an EP model (electric start/remote/electric choke)? If not, you may want to get the appropriate conversion kits for the control from a Tohatsu/Nissan dealer.
If all you want is throttle and shift, and IF it's a modern BRP (J/E) control, you should be able to get that, but you may not get high idle warmup and those convenience items.
The proper Tohatsu control (as most manufacturers) is a complex, coordinated unit, and the price reflects that.
