Each lever moves smoothly, which helps when the boat’s running hard or the chop gets messy. The color-coded knobs make it easy to grab the right one without thinking: black for shift, red for throttle. Mounted on the starboard side, it lines up naturally with the layout used on many high-speed performance rigs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-start=\"598\" data-end=\"601\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"603\" data-end=\"1086\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"603\" data-end=\"619\"\u003eKey Features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"619\" data-end=\"622\"\u003e • \u003cstrong data-start=\"625\" data-end=\"665\"\u003eShift\/Throttle\/Throttle\/Shift Layout\u003c\/strong\u003e – Split control for clean, deliberate handling of both functions.\u003cbr data-start=\"731\" data-end=\"734\"\u003e • \u003cstrong data-start=\"737\" data-end=\"767\"\u003eDigital Throttle and Shift\u003c\/strong\u003e – Smooth, predictable response through the entire range.\u003cbr data-start=\"824\" data-end=\"827\"\u003e • \u003cstrong data-start=\"830\" data-end=\"854\"\u003eStarboard-Side Mount\u003c\/strong\u003e – Fits right-hand helm positions common in race setups.\u003cbr data-start=\"910\" data-end=\"913\"\u003e • \u003cstrong data-start=\"916\" data-end=\"937\"\u003eColor-Coded Knobs\u003c\/strong\u003e – Black knobs for shift, red knobs for throttle for quick ID.\u003cbr data-start=\"999\" data-end=\"1002\"\u003e • \u003cstrong data-start=\"1005\" data-end=\"1033\"\u003ePerformance-Driven Build\u003c\/strong\u003e – Made for race outboards and fast stern drive rigs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-start=\"1088\" data-end=\"1091\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1093\" data-end=\"1221\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1093\" data-end=\"1124\"\u003eEngine \u0026amp; Boat Compatibility\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1124\" data-end=\"1127\"\u003e • Digital Throttle and Shift\u003cbr data-start=\"1156\" data-end=\"1159\"\u003e • Race outboards\u003cbr data-start=\"1176\" data-end=\"1179\"\u003e • DTS stern drives\u003cbr data-start=\"1198\" data-end=\"1201\"\u003e • Performance boats\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-start=\"1223\" data-end=\"1226\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1228\" data-end=\"1702\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1228\" data-end=\"1264\"\u003ePerformance \u0026amp; Practical Benefits\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1264\" data-end=\"1267\"\u003eOut on the water, this layout gives you a strong sense of control, especially when you’re juggling power and gear changes at higher speeds. The throttle levers ease into position without jumping, helping you stay locked on the exact power you want. The shift levers have a firm, clear feel that you can pick up even in rough conditions. Everything is separated and easy to read by touch, which keeps the helm calm when things get busy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-start=\"1704\" data-end=\"1707\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1709\" data-end=\"2050\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1709\" data-end=\"1724\"\u003eWhy Buy OEM\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1724\" data-end=\"1727\"\u003eOEM controls keep DTS communication tight, which you’ll notice right away in how cleanly the system shifts and how steady the throttle feels.
