Re: Do I need to replace my shifter with a nissan shifter?
You can mount the "side box shifter" on the side of the console (it is ambidextrous... you relocate the shift handle to the other side if mounting on the starboard side of the console, as on many RIBs), or you can install a "binnacle mount" shifter, which then requires a separate key switch and stop switch. Any dealer, including several on this forum -- including me) can help you if you want a binnacle throttle/shift control. For that matter, getting the Factory manual for the Tohatsu/Nissan shifter box will show you how to relocate the shifter arm to the other side of the "side mount" control box.
