Mercury – DTS Yacht Control for Dual Engines | Remote Control | 889231A01

Overview
This DTS Yacht control gives dual-engine boats a calm, steady feel by letting you run both throttle and shift from a single set of handles. The movement is smooth and predictable, which really helps when you’re easing a bigger boat into tight slips. The layout keeps the important buttons close, so you’re not fumbling around while the wind or current is pushing you. Designed for newer DTS engines, it settles into the boat without much hassle.

Performance & Practical Benefits
On the water, this control helps a bigger dual-engine boat feel more manageable. Dock Mode takes the edge off throttle movements when you’re squeezing into a narrow slip. One-Lever Mode is great for cruising, keeping both motors working together without needing to micromanage each lever. The response stays steady and predictable, which makes long days at the helm less tiring.

Why Buy OEM
OEM controls keep the engines and helm talking clearly, reducing hesitation and mismatched response. Mercury’s calibration holds steady over time, so the feel doesn’t drift season to season. It’s a dependable choice for yachts and larger dual-engine setups.

FAQ
Q1: How do I know if my current control is wearing out?
A: If shifts lag, throttle bumps feel uneven, or buttons miss inputs, the control may be aging.

Q2: Does this need setup after installation?
A: Yes—there’s a quick configuration step to sync it with the DTS system.

Q3: Is it suitable for saltwater boats?
A: Yes, just rinse the helm routinely and keep up with normal care.

Q4: Anything important to check before mounting it?
A: Make sure the console has enough space for the wiring and the yacht-style handle layout.

Q5: What if the Sync function stops working?
A: It’s usually a calibration or network issue, not a failure of the control itself.
