need help with a new 9.8 tohatsu kicker

[meangreencj7]

just got a 9.8 tohatsu with electric start and trim, but it is a tiller. has anyone rewired the starter button and the trim so you can have it at the console. I got the tiller so I could remove it when I bass fish or tow the kids on the tube. I only use the kicker 5-6 times a year, but I don"t like leaning over the transom to make changes, plus I already have a speed controller up there.

Use a heavyier gauge for the longer run, but yest it can be done.

got everything done, I now have start, trim and speed at the console. only thing i don't is shifting. I have everything set with quick disconects so that when I am ready to bass fish I can pull the motor off, or when I want to use it for the 14 footer I can.

I've had this same kicker for two years now and it's been great. Very happy with it and hopefully you will have the same result.

The trim switch needs to be a two way switch for up and down operation. Marine supply stores have this switch and also starter switches.
