To make the conversion, you will need, besides the MT-3:
1. Teleflex XTREME cables. I think they make them Universal at the control end (which means they fit Teleflex/Morse directly, and OMC/BRP specific at the engine end. You can also get Universal on both end, and buy the adaptor kits for BRP. Try surplusunlimited.com for good pricing. About $45/cable, but worth it. Assuming you have BRP control cables now, they won't work in the Morse, Nor did my Mercury ones.
2. Power trim panel. I bought Mercury's for $75/each, which simply plug into the plug from the key switch ignition harness. They may also be convertible for use with BRP? Others have simply rigged up a toggle switch to save money. BRP may have an offering also.
3. You have a complication I didn't have because of the key switch integral with the control. I never thought that was a good idea, and Mercury never offered it. You may need a separate key switch panel.
4. Depending on the hole in your console, you may have to make a thin teak base plate as I did.
Because of the popularity of Evinrudes on Montauks, you should easily be able to sell your control for a good dollar recovery.
