Nissan 9.8 remote control box

[Rick C]

I have a 2013 9.8 model 3V2-1(NSF9.8A3EF2) SN 017983AB Nissan OB that I would like to convert to remote control vice tiller. Looking through the parts sites, I am thoroughly confused as to which control box applies to this motor. Any help would be appreciated.

You will need 3B7Q843503, RC BOX, RC5C (MFS8A3/9.8A3), AMB w/ elec start, $386.13 MSRP. I have one in stock, and can ship as soon as tomorrow if you are in a hurry. You will also need 3V2838802M, R.C. FITTING ASSY F8A2/9.8A2 031096XD~, $112.02 MSRP. You will want 2 control cables (for shift and throttle), at about $40 or so each; you will need to know the correct length for these.

Do you wish to keep tiller steering, or convert to wheel (or stick) steering? If converting, you will need a helm (wheel) and teleflex-style steering cable (you will need the correct length), as well as the appropriate drag link.

Sounds good to me. How do I go about ordering one from you. I'd also want the control cables. I will be building the console myself so the location and length is not critical right now. I think 10' cables will be good for the area I have picked out, Boat is a 16' sea nymph. Let me know what you have in the way of steering options. I want to stay fairly simple and cheaper on that.

PM Sent. (Rick, check your private messages).

Once you establish the box and console location, the cable length is set in stone. The steering cable in particular is quite stiff, and must be the correct length.

Popular steering setups today are the Teleflex and UFlex brands. Kits are available (from any dealer) that include the helm base, wheel, and cable.
