Mercury – Zero Effort Digital Control (4-Lever, Starboard Mount) | Remote Control | 8M0085491

Overview
This Zero Effort control gives you four separate levers—two for shifting and two for throttle—so you can run a performance setup with a really clear, hands-on feel. Each lever moves smoothly, which helps when the boat’s running hard or the chop gets messy. The color-coded knobs make it easy to grab the right one without thinking: black for shift, red for throttle. Mounted on the starboard side, it lines up naturally with the layout used on many high-speed performance rigs.

Performance & Practical Benefits
Out on the water, this layout gives you a strong sense of control, especially when you’re juggling power and gear changes at higher speeds. The throttle levers ease into position without jumping, helping you stay locked on the exact power you want. The shift levers have a firm, clear feel that you can pick up even in rough conditions. Everything is separated and easy to read by touch, which keeps the helm calm when things get busy.

Why Buy OEM
OEM controls keep DTS communication tight, which you’ll notice right away in how cleanly the system shifts and how steady the throttle feels. Mercury’s calibration stays consistent season after season, so the control doesn’t develop quirks over time. It’s a dependable choice for boats that see a lot of fast, hard running.
