Mercury – Gen II Console Mount Dual Control, With Trim | MerCruiser Mechanical Control | 8M0075246

Overview

This control is meant for twin MerCruiser setups where you’re actually using trim all the time, not just when you first leave the dock. It’s a Gen II console mount control that feels familiar the first time you put your hand on it. One trim switch in the port handle moves both drives together, which is nice when you’re getting the boat settled out or pulling back in. When one side needs a little extra, the individual trim buttons are right there. It’s a working setup, not something that tries to be clever.

Performance & Practical Benefits

Running twins with this control feels less busy than you’d expect. You can bring both drives up together and the boat reacts the way it should. When conditions aren’t perfect, small trim changes are quick and easy. Docking, slow turns, backing down—it all feels more controlled once everything is adjusted the way it should be.

Why Buy OEM

OEM Mercury controls are designed around MerCruiser wiring and cable geometry, and it shows. Both engines respond evenly, and the trim behaves the same from one side to the other. These controls also hold up better over time, especially on boats that see regular use. With twin engines, that consistency matters.
