Hey guys I have a 215 Horizon and I was wondering if I can convert the cable throttle to a fly by wire one instead ?????

I think a simple cable is superior. In boats simple beats complex new tech every time.

It depends on which model engine you have. Some are not compatible or take quite a bit of modifications to make it work.

I wanted the addition of fly by wire for a remote control while docking. When the mechanic told me prices for the equipment even if my engines were compatible I was floored. The remote control box, wireless mind you, started at $10k.
Yes $10K for pretty much left, right, forward, reverse, throttle functions.
Then I needed to update my engines to make them remote compatible but after he told me the price of the remote box I stopped dead in my tracks.

That's just silly, you could do a bow thruster for less than that!

It's not easy to single hand on a flybridge, I can't get to the dock lines very quickly, so the remote in all directions would have been very nice but not that nice. :-)
Sorry to derail the thread. Were you able to find info on fly by wire for your engine combination? You didn't state your combo.
