  • need help with 30hp mercury outboard

    Hi. I have a 2006 F30EL ser# OR124###. This motor does not have any steering controls. I would like to install a tiller handle onto this motor. I would like to know the part#s of the items required or a kit number to do this.
    I also need a prop for this motor. It will be used on a 16 foot lund deep v
    open boat. floor board & small live well only. 2 to 3 people fishing.
    Also if it is a hard job to install the tiller handle???
    Thanks to all the reply

    832586A 4 TILLER HANDLE KIT.
    It's not hard to install.
    Probably an 11 pitch prop would be close, part number 853790 2

        I'm sorry I gave the wrong part numbers, I gave you parts for a 2 stroke model. The 4 stroke numbers are:
        889246A71 CONVERSION KIT, Tiller Handle-Remote Control to Handle Model
        896896A40 PROPELLER, (11 Pitch- Aluminum)
        Yes the kit should include every needed.
        Aluminum prop should work ok.

          thanks for reposting. I now have another question. The engine has elec start
          does that tiller kit have the controls built into the handle. I was looking at a parts breakdown for this engine on a web site and it listed a 879147A09 kit. Is this the same kit as your number 889246A71.???
          How do you know what pitch of prop is best for your boat???
          It lists 4 different one 8 or 9.5 or 11 or 12.5???
          Thanks again Rob

            Not sure what 879147A09 fits I don't see it in my charts. You want prop it between 4500-5500 rpm's on wide open throttle.
