Tiller trim/tilt relocate

I just bought a new Honda 40hp tiller. The one thing I didn't catch before i purchased the motor was the location of the tilt/trim switch. I am not a fan of where it is, why not put it on the throttle handle end so it can be operated with 1 hand instead of an awkward reach with other hand. Is it possible to have a switch mounted someplace that your other hand would naturally be while you are under power?
 
I rigged a tiller switch on a switch panel next to the operator for a customer, not ideal but a lot easier to use. If you take the plastic cover off the underside of the tiller arm there are are three female connectors, white, green and blue, tucked into with the gauge harness that can be used to connect the wiring to. You can used a generic switch or mount a genuine Honda tilt switch into a plastic electrical box mounted in a suitable position.
