convert a merc 25xd to tiller?

[fish_or_die]

I just picked up a 25xd (think it's an 84) for $300 and plan to throw it on my 1548 mod v duck boat. The question I have is I found an 84 merc 20 on KSL that's being parted out, anyone know if that tiller handle would fit on my motor?

Also it came with two 11 pitch props, what should I be running around here? it's a very light boat but I'll usually be running with at least two people and gear.

Thanks for anything!
