Mercury – Console Mount Single Control, No Trim, Chrome | Mechanical Remote Control | 8M4507540

Overview

This control is about as simple as it gets, and that’s the whole point. It’s made for boats that don’t run power trim and just need a solid, mechanical lever at the console. The chrome handle has some heft to it, the kind that feels right when you push it forward or pull it back. With the neutral lock built in, you’re not worrying about bumping it into gear while starting up or idling around.

Performance & Practical Benefits

In day-to-day use, this control feels steady and predictable. Shifts at idle are smooth and don’t slam the drivetrain when you drop into gear. The neutral lock adds a little confidence when you’re close to docks, trailers, or people in the boat. Once it’s adjusted properly, it stays consistent and doesn’t need constant attention.

Why Buy OEM

Mercury OEM controls are designed around Mercury cables and safety standards from the start. That means fewer surprises during installation and a neutral lock that works the way it’s supposed to. The internals also hold up better to vibration and long hours on the water. It’s a control you put in and don’t think about again.
