Mercury – Zero Effort Digital Control (4-Lever, Starboard Mount) | Remote Control | 8M0085617

Overview
This Zero Effort control gives you a four-lever setup with separate shift and throttle pairs, making it easy to run a performance boat by feel alone. The levers move with a smooth, steady pull, which helps when the boat’s running fast or the chop starts stacking up. The clear anodized knobs have a clean, simple look that fits right in on a race-style helm. Mounted on the starboard side, it lines up well with the layouts used on many high-speed rigs.

Performance & Practical Benefits
On the water, this layout gives you a very direct feel—separate shift and throttle levers mean you always know exactly what you’re grabbing. The throttle levers ease into position without jumping, which helps with fine-tuning speed or trimming for clean water. The shift levers have a firm, confident action that’s easy to feel even when things get bumpy. It’s a setup that helps keep you in control when the pace picks up.

Why Buy OEM
OEM Zero Effort controls keep DTS communication clean, which is noticeable when you’re managing multiple functions under load. Mercury’s calibration stays consistent from season to season, so throttle and shift feel don’t slowly drift over time. It’s a reliable choice for performance boats that expect precise control every run.
