Will the PowerTiller work with my motor?

Yes, the PowerTiller II model is designed to work with motors that have standard remote control attachment points or motors that can be adapted to accept standard remote controls.  It fits the vast majority of 5hp+ motors equipped with a shift lever.

The PowerTiller TT model is designed to adapt to motors that were NOT designed to accept standard remote controls and A. use a pull cable to control throttle operation and B. have an adapter kit for the motor.  The PowerTiller TT  uses a twist grip control to operate the motor throttle with a pull cable.  The shift control uses a push/pull cable and is mounted to a bracket affixed to the motor.

Is the PowerTiller easily removed from the tiller for trailoring and covering the tiller?

For Tailor sailors we now provide an optional Quick release kit for each of our PowerTillers. The quick release kit employs 2 clamping knobs to secure the PowerTiller to the tiller.  It takes only seconds to release the PowerTiller from your tiller for motor removal or just to cover the tiller.  Likewise reattaching the controls takes only moments. We discourage removing any control device while under way.

Can/do you supply ALL the hardware required?

Your PowerTiller comes complete with cables.  If you require an adapter kit for your motor we provide them complete with cable ends and installation instructions/diagrams.  We supply  a quick connect attaching kit as an option. If you elect to permanently mount your PowerTiller you will need screws or bolts or appropriate size and material for your tiller from your local hardware store or marine supply.  We provide phone support for the installation and adjustment.
