Remote to tiller conversion.

[Dieseltech910]

Just as the title states I’m looking to convert what I believe is an 1984 25hp Johnson from remote to a tiller set up. Does anyone know if this is possible? Also what would all be needed? Thanks!

Can we assume it is electric start or you wouldn't be asking? Or put another way, does it have the "ears" where the tiller would attach (rope start). If it doesn't have the ears you would have to replace the steering bracket. I'd have to get out the parts books to see what else.

yes it’s an electric start, haven’t looked to see if there’s any “ears” but I will tomorrow.

I would do that, but tillers are worth their weight in gold around here, and I have yet to locate one that fits my needs.

You can put a tiller on a rope start, but electric start has a different steering bracket (no "ears")
