I have an 85 Merc 18 HP that is set up for tiller drive and
I have it in a boat that has a steering wheel and cables for
forward drive. I would like to know if anyone has a kit that
would allow me to do the conversion or any suggestions that I
may need. Anyone have an old bunch of parts that could do the job?
It's one of these deals where I got the boat cheap from someone
who moved and when he bought the motor, he didn't get the hookups
for the forward steering or throttle.
Thanks.

You should be able to order the parts from Merc. through a merc dealer.
Shouldn't be a big project to install. Let us know how you make out.

Check Bliss/E&B, Overton's, Goldberg marine, etc catalogs- they have
steering and throttle/shift controls.
Also check the dealer for used stuff, although I would tend to go for
new cables.
I may have a Merc throttle shift(2 lever) assembly in my box of junk-
I'll check tonite and let you know
On a small engine like that, I would go for the cable/drum type
steering.I's also cheaper
