Both levers have the same steady feel, so you can run them by touch without second-guessing what you grabbed. The port-side mount fits the way many race and performance rigs are laid out, keeping things close and easy to reach. It’s built for DTS-equipped outboards and stern drives where quick, confident shifts matter more than anything else.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-start=\"639\" data-end=\"642\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"644\" data-end=\"1127\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"644\" data-end=\"660\"\u003eKey Features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"660\" data-end=\"663\"\u003e • \u003cstrong data-start=\"666\" data-end=\"692\"\u003eTwo-Lever Shift Layout\u003c\/strong\u003e – Both levers handle shifting only, keeping gear changes deliberate and separate.\u003cbr data-start=\"774\" data-end=\"777\"\u003e • \u003cstrong data-start=\"780\" data-end=\"797\"\u003eDigital Shift\u003c\/strong\u003e – Smooth, steady engagement without the harsh feel of older systems.\u003cbr data-start=\"866\" data-end=\"869\"\u003e • \u003cstrong data-start=\"872\" data-end=\"891\"\u003ePort-Side Mount\u003c\/strong\u003e – Fits performance rigs that place controls on the left side of the helm.\u003cbr data-start=\"965\" data-end=\"968\"\u003e • \u003cstrong data-start=\"971\" data-end=\"986\"\u003eBlack Knobs\u003c\/strong\u003e – Clean, simple knobs that are easy to see and grab.\u003cbr data-start=\"1039\" data-end=\"1042\"\u003e • \u003cstrong data-start=\"1045\" data-end=\"1066\"\u003ePerformance Build\u003c\/strong\u003e – Designed for race outboards and hard-running stern drives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-start=\"1129\" data-end=\"1132\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1134\" data-end=\"1262\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1134\" data-end=\"1165\"\u003eEngine \u0026amp; Boat Compatibility\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1165\" data-end=\"1168\"\u003e • Digital Throttle and Shift\u003cbr data-start=\"1197\" data-end=\"1200\"\u003e • Race outboards\u003cbr data-start=\"1217\" data-end=\"1220\"\u003e • DTS stern drives\u003cbr data-start=\"1239\" data-end=\"1242\"\u003e • Performance boats\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-start=\"1264\" data-end=\"1267\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1269\" data-end=\"1746\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1269\" data-end=\"1305\"\u003ePerformance \u0026amp; Practical Benefits\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1305\" data-end=\"1308\"\u003eOn the water, the identical levers make shifting feel calm and controlled—you’re not hunting for the right handle in rough chop. Each lever gives a clear, confident click, so you can confirm shifts by feel even when things are moving fast. The layout keeps the helm uncluttered, which helps you stay focused on the line you’re running. It’s a simple setup that works well when you want quick, repeatable shifts without extra distractions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-start=\"1748\" data-end=\"1751\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1753\" data-end=\"2091\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1753\" data-end=\"1768\"\u003eWhy Buy OEM\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1768\" data-end=\"1771\"\u003eOEM controls keep the DTS system talking cleanly, which makes a noticeable difference in shift timing and feel.
