Biggest outboards with tiller control?

[martini]

Does anyone know what new outboards are available with tiller control?

Suzuki list everything over 25hp as being remote unless they mean it as an option?

I know Merc have their Big Tiller for larger O/B's but I would've thought most manufacturers would go up to 50-60hp with tiller control for the larger sibs and other open boats?

Can anyone enlighten me?

I seem to remember our old Honda 50 had a tiller option shown in the workshop manual. Whether that was available in Europe is another matter. Their current web info shows a 40 with tiller control BF40LHU.

Our old Suzuki DF50 definitely had a tiller option (2007 model). I think that the etec commercial models can be tiller controlled, I think that model is only 60hp and 90 but I may be wrong. The only tiller set up for really large outboards would be the Mercury racing big tiller http://www.mercurymarine.com/_media/.../BigTiller.pdf

Tohatsu still has 2T up tp 90 HP for tiller/remote control use, not available in markets where 2T are already forbidden. Tohatsu 4T 30HP is a tiller/remote model and the largest one on their 4T models.

The 65hp ETEC commercial is tiller steer as standard

doesn't look like an option on the 90 comm though.

I am not sure the Etec is available here?

The largest I know of are 50s, but if you are happy with something second hand and a few years old you should be able to track down a 60 or maybe bigger.

An aux for Martiniii??

With big enough kahoonas, the sky's the limit.

The Merc Big tiller! (I know you mentioned it but it has to be seen!)

I reckon he could lose his arm trying to pull out of a tight turn if the trim isn't spot on. It's hard enough with hydraulic steering sometimes. And anyway, where's the fun without a pull start on that thing.
