Mercury – DTS Hot Foot Throttle Kit | Throttle Control | 893359K01

Overview
This kit lets you run a floor-mounted Hot Foot pedal with a DTS setup, giving you a more natural feel if you like driving with your foot instead of the lever. It’s a clean way to free up your hands when you’re trimming or steering in tight spots. The pedal’s response feels steady and controlled, not jumpy, which makes long runs a lot more comfortable. You’ll still need the switch button and the required harness, but once it’s in place, the setup feels familiar right away.

Performance & Practical Benefits
On the water, the pedal gives you a steady, predictable feel that’s great for tight rivers, choppy bays, or any time you want faster throttle reaction. It keeps the boat settled because you can feather the throttle without taking your hands off the wheel. Long runs feel easier, too, since you’re not working a lever the whole time. The pedal style just feels natural once you get used to it.

Why Buy OEM
OEM components give cleaner communication with DTS systems, reducing lag or odd throttle behavior. Mercury’s calibration keeps everything acting the same season after season. It’s a reliable way to add foot-pedal control without fighting integration problems.

FAQ
Q1: How do I know if a Hot Foot setup is right for me?
A: If you prefer hands-free throttle control or do a lot of tight maneuvering, a pedal usually feels better and more natural.

Q2: Does the kit need setup after installation?
A: Yes, it needs basic configuration to sync with the DTS system.

Q3: Is it okay for saltwater boats?
A: Yes—rinse it like the rest of your gear, and it holds up well.

Q4: Anything to check before mounting the pedal?
A: Make sure you’ve got clear floor space and a clean path for the harness.

Q5: What if the pedal starts responding inconsistently?
A: It’s usually a calibration or harness issue, not the pedal itself.
