Default Kicker - Helm AND Tiller control?

I have a 9.9 Mercury kicker (07) that is controlled via helm steering/controls of my 19 Pro-V in unison with the 225 Verado. I troll/back troll in the open where helm steering is fine but also through tight channels where tiller control would be valuable. I'm wondering if there is a way to add a tiller handle to the kicker and have it available to steer in either manner. It would have to be detached somehow from the Verado steering in this case and I'm not sure if it's possible to have it easily changeable between the two types but thought I'd inquire. I'm assuming it's one way or another. Ideas?

It's pretty easy to get the ability to steer the kicker from either the console, or tiller handle. It's only hard to have throttle and shut off controls at both places.

To steer from both area's, just have a tiller kicker, and link it to the big motor when you want to steer from the wheel. Your starting and throttle control would remain at the tiller handle though. There are quick coupler links that allow hooking the two motors together in just a few seconds.

As Burr said, and add a Trollmaster throttle control and your set. It makes for the best of all situations. I love that set-up.
