Mercury – Resistor Pack #94 Quad DTS Shadow Mode | Shadow Load Module | 898091T02

Overview
This resistor pack is used on quad-engine DTS Shadow Mode setups to keep the system talking cleanly between the helm and all four engines. It provides the load the network expects so Shadow Mode doesn’t act jittery or out of sync. This version (#94) is the one used on single-helm quad layouts, specifically in the Helm 1 and Port 2 positions. It’s a small part, but it plays a big role in keeping older DTS Shadow Mode rigs behaving the way they should.

Key Features
• Shadow Mode Resistor Pack #94 – Supplies the correct load for quad DTS Shadow Mode.
• Helm 1 + Port 2 Use – Built for the required resistor positions in quad setups.
• Quad-Engine Ready – Made for four-engine Shadow Mode configurations.
• Single-Helm Design – Intended for rigs with one primary control station.
• OEM Spec – Fits 2006-and-newer Gen I DTS boats.

Engine & Boat Compatibility
• Digital Throttle and Shift Gen I
• Quad engine
• Single helm
• Shadow Mode systems (2006+)

Performance & Practical Benefits
When the resistor value is correct, Shadow Mode feels smooth instead of jumpy or uneven. Throttle timing stays tight across all four engines, especially noticeable at slow speeds or while docking. It also cuts down on the odd, intermittent behavior that shows up when the network load isn’t quite right. With the right pack installed, the system is easier to troubleshoot and more predictable day to day.

Why Buy OEM
OEM resistor packs match Mercury’s DTS specs exactly, which keeps the Shadow Mode logic stable. They’re built to handle heat, vibration, and long-term marine conditions better than generic electronics. It’s a small part that prevents a lot of headaches.

FAQ
Q1: How do I know I need this resistor pack?
A: If you have a quad-engine DTS Shadow Mode boat (2006 or newer) with one helm, this #94 pack is the correct one for Helm 1 and Port 2.

Q2: Does it need calibration after installation?
A: No—once installed, the DTS system sorts out the checks on its own.

Q3: Will it hold up in saltwater?
A: Yes. Just rinse the area occasionally and check the connectors.

Q4: Any installation tips?
A: Make sure the resistor is fully seated in the harness plug so the load value stays stable.

Q5: What are early signs the pack may be failing?
A: Uneven Shadow Mode timing, hesitation between engines, or occasional comms dropouts.
