1987? Mercury 9.9 - Help Convert Back To Tiller Controls

[wcsd106]

A good friend of mine just bought a 1987? Mercury 9.9 Tiller Handle outboard. It came with the remote controls as it had been on a pontoon boat, but the seller still had the tiller handle attached with the throttle and shift cables hanging loose inside the cowling.

Since this is going on a 1436 Jon Boat, my buddy would prefer to just reattach the throttle and shift cables that run from the tiller handle.

Unfortunately, he doesn't currently have the OEM shop manual for that engine.

We took a look at it today, and are both at a loss as to how those cables should connect to the outboard. It would appear that they would attach to part 15 in the attached diagram, but how they should connect is still a mystery.

The cables had also come loose from the cam inside the tiller handle housing.

I'm hoping that someone has a diagram or a good scan from an OEM manual telling how to reattach these cables and get his engine ready for the water.

The outboard serial number is: 0B103402 which from what I can tell puts it in the 1987 year range.

I took several pictures of the throttle cables and can attach them if needed to assist with the answer here.

Thanks.

No Title

Parts Diagram of Tilt and Tiller assembly. Throttle/Shift cable is part 8 in this diagram. I am needing to know where the two ends connect to the engine.

Also, can someone confirm that Mercury Manual 90-13449-1 would be the correct OEM manual for this engine?

The control cables and the tiller cables do not connect to the same assembly. The tiller cables connects to part #2 one cable over the top and one underneath. Part #2 in the first post your shifting will now be controlled by the tiller also you may need that linkage. Make sure the cables are on right or the shifting will be backwards

Thank You, Sir. I'll start looking into it.

Do the threaded ends of the throttle and shift cables attach to part 1 (the control platform)

Should be 2 nuts on each threaded part they slide into a bracket that's where they get tightened. Put a pic up of the side of your motor be easier that way to tell you if you have all the parts you need.

Here are a couple of pictures I took on Wednesday. They're not the best I could have gotten, but I'm supposed to be getting more pics today.



And this one




I had one more, but it was too blurry to be useful.

It looks like you are missing parts call the dealer see if they make a kit.
