It’s a Gen II console mount control that feels familiar the first time you put your hand on it. One trim switch in the port handle moves both drives together, which is nice when you’re getting the boat settled out or pulling back in. When one side needs a little extra, the individual trim buttons are right there. It’s a working setup, not something that tries to be clever.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-start=\"637\" data-end=\"640\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-start=\"642\" data-end=\"660\"\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"661\" data-end=\"1090\"\u003e • \u003cstrong data-start=\"664\" data-end=\"695\"\u003eDual Engine Console Control\u003c\/strong\u003e – One control handles throttle and shift for both engines.\u003cbr data-start=\"754\" data-end=\"757\"\u003e • \u003cstrong data-start=\"760\" data-end=\"787\"\u003ePort Handle Trim Switch\u003c\/strong\u003e – Trims and trailers both drives at the same time.\u003cbr data-start=\"838\" data-end=\"841\"\u003e • \u003cstrong data-start=\"844\" data-end=\"871\"\u003eIndividual Trim Buttons\u003c\/strong\u003e – Lets you nudge one drive without touching the other.\u003cbr data-start=\"926\" data-end=\"929\"\u003e • \u003cstrong data-start=\"932\" data-end=\"954\"\u003eGen II Cable Setup\u003c\/strong\u003e – Built specifically for Gen II throttle and shift cables.\u003cbr data-start=\"1013\" data-end=\"1016\"\u003e • \u003cstrong data-start=\"1019\" data-end=\"1043\"\u003eLanyard Not Included\u003c\/strong\u003e – Lanyard switch must be purchased separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-start=\"1092\" data-end=\"1095\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-start=\"1097\" data-end=\"1130\"\u003eEngine \u0026amp; Boat Compatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1131\" data-end=\"1252\"\u003e • MerCruiser Marine engines\u003cbr data-start=\"1159\" data-end=\"1162\"\u003e • Mechanical control systems\u003cbr data-start=\"1191\" data-end=\"1194\"\u003e • Twin engine configurations\u003cbr data-start=\"1223\" data-end=\"1226\"\u003e • Gen II control series\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-start=\"1254\" data-end=\"1257\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-start=\"1259\" data-end=\"1297\"\u003ePerformance \u0026amp; Practical Benefits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1298\" data-end=\"1625\"\u003eRunning twins with this control feels less busy than you’d expect.

Both engines respond evenly, and the trim behaves the same from one side to the other. These controls also hold up better over time, especially on boats that see regular use. With twin engines, that consistency matters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-start=\"1964\" data-end=\"1967\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-start=\"1969\" data-end=\"1978\"\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1980\" data-end=\"2159\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1980\" data-end=\"2044\"\u003eQ1: How do I know this control is the right one for my boat?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"2044\" data-end=\"2047\"\u003eA: If you’re running twin MerCruiser engines with power trim and mechanical controls, this is the correct style.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2161\" data-end=\"2312\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2161\" data-end=\"2220\"\u003eQ2: What parts are needed to complete the installation?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"2220\" data-end=\"2223\"\u003eA: Gen II throttle and shift cables, a lanyard switch, and the proper power trim harness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2314\" data-end=\"2439\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2314\" data-end=\"2358\"\u003eQ3: Can both drives be trimmed together?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"2358\" data-end=\"2361\"\u003eA: Yes, the trim switch in the port handle moves both drives at the same time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2441\" data-end=\"2560\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2441\" data-end=\"2492\"\u003eQ4: Can each drive still be trimmed on its own?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"2492\" data-end=\"2495\"\u003eA: Yes, individual trim buttons are built into the control cover.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2562\" data-end=\"2714\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2562\" data-end=\"2615\"\u003eQ5: Which trim harness does this control require?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"2615\" data-end=\"2618\"\u003eA: A four-pin Molex to Packard three-pin trim harness, part number 84-865772T01 or 84-865772T02.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mercury","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46935368368419,"sku":"8M0075246","price":840.19,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0783\/7410\/9475\/files\/PV743175.jpg?v=1698793122","url":"https:\/\/partsvu.com\/en-au\/products\/mercury-rc4500-dul-mc-trm-8m0075246","provider":"PartsVu","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
