Did OMC ever make a tiller handle for 70hp?

I have a 1980 70hp Johnson with a jet unit on it & would like convert it from console/forward steering to a tiller handle steering/shift/throttle unit. But I can not find if that item was ever made as an accessory, or is currently available as a used or even new unit.

Any info would be appreciated.

Yes they did ( and probably do ) it is bolted to the steering arm, and has a shifter whith a rod that goes in thru lower cowling. Same one as for 40 - 50 - 60HP twins. I even have one, not that rare. I have seen a 88 Hp with one, too. They show up on ebay, now and then http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/TILL...at_Parts_Accessories_Gear?hash=item27b02edbe2 Thin one it pricey imho, though. I got mine for like 50 bucks.
