I have a Nissan NS70A2on a1972 Boston Whaler Nauset. It has functional side controls, but I am restoring the boat and would like to add a binnacle control system. Are these available anywhere? What binnacle control would work on this motor? It does have electric tilt.

I would also like to get a new stainless prop for this. Any recommendations on which one for this boat?

Props are trial and error. Check WOT RPM to determine where you are now, and go from there. Most any binnacle control with TT switch will work.
Single binnacle mount control box, with power tilt/trim switch & electric start.

Control box only.

For all TLDI models with power tilt & electric start
Part #: 3U3844900M
List Price (MSRP): $258.33

What are the numbers stamped on current SS prop ? Need to run a wot water test with current prop as loaded and report max wot rpm achieved to know how much off from max wot rpm range that prop is revving at if plan propping the motor right...

Thank you! I have three aluminum props right now, all came with the motor / boat and all three are chewed up a bit. There are no functional gauges on the boat yet either.

It's mandatory to have an installed working tach to test the 3 available props, doesn't matter if chewed up, report with which one the motor achieved the highest wot rpm run to go from there. All motor runs under their min to max wot rpm range factory stated and without a tach won't know. Ideal is to run at least middle of its wot rpm range, although max it's preferred for a spot on hole shot....
