It keeps the familiar feel at the helm while letting the system run through modern wiring that’s steadier and easier to work with. With two modules and the harness included, the setup stays organized instead of turning into a mess behind the dash. It’s a practical way to modernize a twin-engine boat without tearing out gear that still works well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-start=\"577\" data-end=\"580\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"582\" data-end=\"1158\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"582\" data-end=\"598\"\u003eKey Features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"598\" data-end=\"601\"\u003e    • \u003cstrong data-start=\"627\" data-end=\"658\"\u003eDual Legacy Control Modules\u003c\/strong\u003e – Allows older Zero Effort Controls to operate with Next Gen DTS.\u003cbr data-start=\"724\" data-end=\"727\"\u003e    • \u003cstrong data-start=\"753\" data-end=\"775\"\u003eTwin Engine Design\u003c\/strong\u003e – Built specifically for dual-engine configurations.\u003cbr data-start=\"828\" data-end=\"831\"\u003e    • \u003cstrong data-start=\"857\" data-end=\"877\"\u003eIncluded Harness\u003c\/strong\u003e – Provides the needed wiring path for both modules.\u003cbr data-start=\"929\" data-end=\"932\"\u003e    • \u003cstrong data-start=\"958\" data-end=\"988\"\u003eDigital System Integration\u003c\/strong\u003e – Brings legacy throttle hardware into modern DTS rigging.\u003cbr data-start=\"1047\" data-end=\"1050\"\u003e    • \u003cstrong data-start=\"1076\" data-end=\"1107\"\u003eAdditional Harness Required\u003c\/strong\u003e – Key switch harness must be purchased separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-start=\"1160\" data-end=\"1163\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1165\" data-end=\"1357\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1165\" data-end=\"1196\"\u003eEngine \u0026amp; Boat Compatibility\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1196\" data-end=\"1199\"\u003e    • Zero Effort Controls\u003cbr data-start=\"1245\" data-end=\"1248\"\u003e    • Next Gen Digital Throttle and Shift\u003cbr data-start=\"1309\" data-end=\"1312\"\u003e    • Dual engine layouts\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-start=\"1359\" data-end=\"1362\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1364\" data-end=\"1823\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1364\" data-end=\"1400\"\u003ePerformance \u0026amp; Practical Benefits\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1400\" data-end=\"1403\"\u003eWith the modules tied in, throttle response tends to feel smoother and more even between the two engines. The wiring isn’t fighting you anymore, and the helm becomes easier to service because everything follows a predictable DTS layout. Dockside maneuvering gets less touchy, and the whole system feels more settled. It’s one of those upgrades you appreciate most after a long day running tight channels or busy marinas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-start=\"1825\" data-end=\"1828\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1830\" data-end=\"2137\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1830\" data-end=\"1845\"\u003eWhy Buy OEM\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1845\" data-end=\"1848\"\u003eOEM gear keeps engine communication steady so the controls behave the same every time you use them. The fittings line up the way Mercury intended, which cuts down on odd glitches and loose connections. It’s built to handle heat, movement, and years of vibration without giving you trouble.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-start=\"2139\" data-end=\"2142\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2144\" data-end=\"2325\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2144\" data-end=\"2151\"\u003eFAQ\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"2151\" data-end=\"2154\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2154\" data-end=\"2192\"\u003eQ1: How do I know I need this kit?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"2192\" data-end=\"2195\"\u003eA: If you’re keeping dual Zero Effort Controls but switching to Next Gen DTS wiring, this kit makes the two systems work together.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2327\" data-end=\"2439\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2327\" data-end=\"2376\"\u003eQ2: Does anything need calibration afterward?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"2376\" data-end=\"2379\"\u003eA: No—DTS handles its own setup once everything’s connected.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2441\" data-end=\"2564\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2441\" data-end=\"2478\"\u003eQ3: Will it hold up in saltwater?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"2478\" data-end=\"2481\"\u003eA: Yes, just stick to normal rinsing and inspection, especially around the harness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2566\" data-end=\"2686\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2566\" data-end=\"2596\"\u003eQ4: Any installation tips?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"2596\" data-end=\"2599\"\u003eA: Make sure you have the key switch harness on hand—it’s required to finish the setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2688\" data-end=\"2853\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2688\" data-end=\"2742\"\u003eQ5: What are signs the modules may need attention?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"2742\" data-end=\"2745\"\u003eA: Uneven throttle response, hesitation between engines, or jittery digital behavior are common early clues.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mercury","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46933552103715,"sku":"98-8M0165552","price":614.06,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0783\/7410\/9475\/files\/PV844575.jpg?v=1720534872","url":"https:\/\/partsvu.com\/en-ca\/products\/mercury-kit-lcm-ze-dual-98-8m0165552","provider":"PartsVu","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
