V198 kicker question

I prefer a tiller operated kicker. If I put a Mercury 15 Pro Kicker on my new V198, does anyone know if the till handle assembly will interfere with the opening of the jump seat on the port side and therefore access to the storage underneath ? Thanks.

I have a yamaha kicker on my 198 it works fine if you flip the handle up when the motor is trimmed up, trimmed down its not much of an issue. Not sure how the handles compare merc vs yamaha.
