Ops!
Do you not mean the Port side!
But any way if I'm right you can take the control box apart & reassemble to go on the other side!
But then I may be wrong

You can definately take the mariner/mercury controls apart and reasemble them so that they can be used on the oposite side.

I would imagine it would be the same for the yamaha controls.

I may be wrong but I have a OMC one at home in bits & if I remember correctly you can change the leaver over!
Worth a look!

Bracket

My control is on a metal bracket that moves it out from the console with some space to the rear. could you try that mounted 45deg across the hatch and still have access. If i can work out how to post pictures will try to get one tonight. You would need to make sure of good strong fixing and it does not stop crew moving past. Just an idea but remember i am new to all this and am sure it been done before.

If anyone can definately confirm that these types of controls can be taken apart and used on both sides I would very much like to know too!

Yep, I have one of these on my RIB. You take the control lever/handle off (minding the little wires from the T&T) and re-assemble in the other side. Use Locktite on the litle screw that holds the handle on as if this comes off, your handle will fall off, not fun at 30 knots.

Andy

PS: just read your post Tim. You don't have to strip anything just to change the handle position over to the opposite side, but would recommend that you do, just to inspect and possibly grease inside.

I did the same last week; took my Mariner one apart. Right nightmare it was; got greese all over my hands, which made getting it all back together quite tricky! I think you will that that you will have to take the two covers off to be able to change the wiring over for your PTT.

I found a useful threat, and although it applies to greesing the cables, the procedure for taking it aprt should be similar:

I am pretty sure the handbook I got with my 703 remote shows how to do this. I will check and post back later.

Exactly the same thing on my ocean console, the unit just swaps round, its very easy indeed.

One small tip, make sure the scres holding the seat are up to it, mine fell off a bit.
