Where might I go online to find a kit to replace tiller controls with remote control steering, shifting and throttle on a 1987 Evinrude 40 Horse with electric start and power tilt?

Re: Convert Tiller Control to Remote Control

Thanks for the link, David R. I went there and decided I'll need to contact them personally to find out about a conversion kit. The instructions for contacting them don't make sense though. They say I can contact them by phone or email about product issues and "a representative will get back with me" and they give phone numbers and an email address and then they say "product questions to this email address will not be answered!" I want to just email them. Guess I'll have to call the phone number Monday!

Tashadaddy, thanks for this direct info, part numbers, a big help! I will try a used boat and motor dealer in my area for a steering console.
