Swap: Left hand Yam 703 for right hand 703

[JSP]

Got a mint left hand 703 remote, bought new just after xmas this year. Wondering if anyone has a right hand 703 and would like to swap?

Should be reversible.

John, most of the control boxes are reversable. Just unbolt the lever, re-route the wire via the little plastic bit on the bottom and you are away. However be aware there are some Yamaha control boxes that are push/pull and some are pull/push for the gear and throttle cables.

It is reversible do you want to sell your old one?

copy what pete said I've had my control both both ways on my boats - yamaha 703 - left handed screw in centre if I recall

Thanks for the info lads. So the lever just goes onto the back of the box? Wont look cosmetically as good though will it?

Stu, the new 703 replaced a 702 box which was broke. Sorry mate.

Pete, I think it's the 703's designed for the newer 4 stroke that push the other way. I've already been using this one but have a new console to fit it onto.
I did have a moment of panic when i first bought it and found this site telling you how to change the levers inside. http://kaplan1.com/yamaha/
Luckily I didn't have too.

The 703 on the Yammie 70 i've just bought has a dodgy key and kill chord it was just those bits I was after might they be the same on the 702

They are the same mate but I bought the 703 with out the loom or ignition so transferred them over. Sorry.

There's one on ebay

I've got a spare 'generic' ignition in the garage if you want it.
I'll let you have it when we can get together about the engine.
