[QUOTE="Salty Dawg, post: 258852, member: 8498"] Yes, it has a tiller. I got that model because it was the best buy for me at the time, and I used it that way last season. But when I added the console it was just for the steering and to house my electronics. I still use the controls on the motor for throttle and gear shift. Sounds weird, but is easy. The remote steering was relatively easy. The steps for my my F20 Yamaha were: 1. Remove and discard the quadrant and lever for the steering friction lock. It is not needed with the cable steering. 2. Temporarily remove the cover on the lifting handle / wire tray. 3. Bolt on the "L" shaped bracket for the remote steering connection. 4. Connect the steering linkage to the bracket. then replace the lifting arm cover.
