A tiller is for an outboard motor and has a manually operable shift mechanism configured to actuate shift changes in a transmission of the outboard motor amongst a forward gear, reverse gear, and neutral gear. The tiller also has a manually operable throttle mechanism configured to position a throttle of an internal combustion engine of the outboard motor into and between the idle position and a wide-open throttle position. An interlock mechanism is configured to prevent a shift change in the transmission out of the neutral gear when the throttle is positioned in a non-idle position. The interlock mechanism is further configured to permit a shift change into the neutral gear regardless of where the throttle is positioned.
