Tiller Handle Compatibility Chart

Use this chart to identify Mercury and Mariner tiller handle kits currently available for order. Match the engine model, year and serial number range before selecting a kit.

Important: Horsepower alone does not confirm fitment. Match the complete engine model and serial number range before ordering. The engine's current control or tiller configuration may also determine which conversion kit is required.

Mercury Mid-Tiller Conversion Kits

Start here if you are converting a current engine to Mercury's newer optimally sized, ergonomic adjustable handle tiller. Troll control comes standard.

Older applications: This chart lists tiller handle kits currently available from Mercury. Many kits for older engines have been discontinued and are no longer available. BAM Marine cannot source discontinued tiller kits or recommend custom conversion components for applications not listed.
Need help identifying the correct kit? Use our Mercury parts lookup or contact us with the complete engine serial number and tell us whether the engine currently has remote controls, a standard tiller or a Big Tiller.
