What this Yamaha 6X4-42102-52-00 - 60/70 tiller fitting kit does

Converts or prepares select Yamaha 60/70 HP outboards for tiller-handle control by adding the OEM mounting/bracket hardware and linkages the engine needs to accept a compatible Yamaha tiller handle assembly. It’s an OEM fit solution designed to maintain correct steering, throttle, and shift geometry at the transom.

Compatibility (quick guidance)

• Intended for specific Yamaha 60/70 HP models (model-year dependent).
• Always verify by engine model code/PID or serial in Yamaha’s engine schematics before purchase.
• If your engine is currently set up for remote/helm controls, this kit is used when converting to a tiller configuration (you may also need a compatible tiller handle assembly and harness/stop-switch items – see “Related parts” below).

Typical components in a Yamaha tiller fitting kit

(Exact contents vary by kit revision and engine family; list below describes common inclusions for this class. Retain the OEM parts list on the product card as the source of truth.)

• Transom-side/tiller pivot bracket(s) and mounting hardware
• Shift and throttle link arms with clips/pins
• Steering friction/stop hardware and fasteners
• Cable/harness retainers and grommets as applicable
• Engine-side stop-switch lead provisions (model dependent)
• OEM fasteners (bolts, nuts, spacers, washers) in the correct grades/finishes

Install basics

• De-rig (if converting): Remove remote control linkages and related brackets per the service manual.
• Mount brackets: Install the tiller pivot/mount brackets to specified torque; use OEM fastener order and any spacers/bushings provided.
• Link shift & throttle: Attach link arms to the engine levers at the indexed holes; secure with new clips/cotters. Confirm neutral start and full-throw travel.
• Fit the tiller handle: Install the compatible Yamaha tiller handle assembly; route wiring/harness and kill-switch lanyard per manual.
• Set friction & stops: Adjust steering friction and mechanical travel stops to spec.
• Function checks: Verify start/stop, shift detents, idle to WOT range, and steering sweep without interference.

Always follow the Yamaha service manual for your exact model. If you’re unfamiliar with rigging, consult a qualified marine technician.

Tools you’ll likely need

• Metric socket/torque wrench set (observe OEM torque specs)
• Pliers for clips/cotters; threadlocker where specified
• Marine anti-seize for stainless fasteners into aluminum
• Dielectric grease for connectors; cable ties and grommet lube
• Shop rags and solvent for prep/clean threads

Related parts (often paired with this kit)
