Performance & Practical Benefits
A Start/Stop pad cuts out the hassle of juggling keys every time you cycle the motors. It’s especially handy when you’re easing into a slip or making quick adjustments around the dock. The buttons feel natural, and the pad keeps the helm uncluttered, which is a big help on triple-engine rigs where space disappears fast. It makes everyday operation feel smoother and more controlled.

Why Buy OEM
OEM pads are built to handle vibration, spray, and real-world conditions. The connectors match Mercury’s DTS system exactly, so you’re not dealing with loose fits or random glitches. It’s the dependable choice if you want the pad to work the same way every time you press it.
