You can convert any tiller to a remote control motor, will need engine hardware, 2 control cables and complete control box, that combo can be expensive, minimum $ 600 to 750 + installation.

Would need the parts/fittings that secures/engages cables for gear and throttle and steering cable arm & hardware that secures steering cable to motor carrying handle to turn motor sideways, usually comes included as a kit with the remote model, better ask a Honda dealer for appropriate parts and cost.
