There's no such thing as a stupid question, but they are the easiest to answer

No the 701 can't be changed.

Yamaha 40hp MLHW tiller

Will this 701 work with my 1998 Yamaha 40hp MLHW tiller arm outboard? As a conversion remote?

If it's a push to open control box and you don't want to start motor from control box then it will work.

I am a total newbie here and miles out of my depth! (excuse the pun!).
My question is (i think) similar to above?
I have acquired a Yamaha F9.9 with a 701 remote. The remote is right handed but my controls on my boat are on the left.

Can these remotes be swapped around ??

Can i just swap the cables around??

errr, does anyone know which cable goes where on the outboard ??

Don't know what model F9.9 you have but if it's a pull to open throttle then can use either
701-48101-51-00 701 pull to open, starboard side mount
701-48102-51-00 701 pull to open, port side mount
but 701 box is not reverseable

It's an F9.9AE four stroke.
