Mercury – Quad Engine Start/Stop Pad (Starboard) | Low-Profile Control Pad | 87-8M0117139

Overview
This Start/Stop pad gives you a simple push-button way to fire up or shut down the starboard-side engines on a quad-engine DTS setup, as long as the keyswitches are already in RUN. It sits low and clean on the helm, so it doesn’t add clutter or get in the way. When you’re easing into a slip, holding position, or bouncing between idle and gear, having quick access to just the starboard pair makes life a lot easier. It’s one of those small add-ons that quickly feels essential.

Performance & Practical Benefits
Running four engines gets busy fast, and this pad helps by giving you quick control over the starboard pair without reaching for keys. It’s especially handy around the dock or when you’re trying to make small, controlled moves. The buttons feel predictable, and the helm stays clean instead of overloaded with switches. Day-to-day use feels smoother once this is in place.

Why Buy OEM
OEM pads match Mercury’s DTS system perfectly, so the wiring stays solid and the buttons behave the same every time. They hold up well in real marine conditions—vibration, heat, spray—without getting flaky. It’s dependable hardware you won’t have to babysit.
