Mercury 15hp 2005 2 stroke tiller arm conversion?

Hi just wondering, probably a stupid question,. Beginner to boats and mechanical boat stuff,.

Is it possible to convert a 2005 15hp 2 stroke mercury from tiller arm, to forward controls and steering/helm, its not a big deal, the 15 hp currently sits as a back up to the 115hp i currently have,.

Im not fussed if its a fiddly job but is it possible?

Thanks

Should be quite easy. You may even be able to leave the tiller on as emergency steering.

Cost might be another matter though, some of the fittings if not already present can be expensive.
