Performance & Practical Benefits
On the water, the control feels steady and natural, especially when you ease the throttle in tight quarters. The buttons have a firm, predictable click, so you always know when you’ve switched profiles or toggled Active Trim. Shifts stay smooth even when the water gets choppy, and the layout keeps hand movements simple. It helps the boat settle into a predictable rhythm at idle and cruise.

Why Buy OEM
OEM controls keep communication clean and predictable between the helm and the engine. Mercury’s calibration standards hold up over time, so the control behaves the same season after season. It’s a dependable choice for boaters who want long-term consistency.
