It provides the correct load for the network so Shadow Mode doesn’t act jumpy or fall out of sync between stations. This #97 pack is the one used at Helm 2 and Starboard 2, and it’s already included with the lower or primary helm kits in the 895816A–895819A series. It’s a small part, but it keeps a dual-helm Shadow Mode setup behaving smoothly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-start=\"539\" data-end=\"542\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"544\" data-end=\"1103\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"544\" data-end=\"560\"\u003eKey Features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"560\" data-end=\"563\"\u003e    • \u003cstrong data-start=\"589\" data-end=\"622\"\u003eShadow Mode Resistor Pack #97\u003c\/strong\u003e – Supplies the correct load for dual-helm Shadow Mode.\u003cbr data-start=\"677\" data-end=\"680\"\u003e    • \u003cstrong data-start=\"706\" data-end=\"742\"\u003eHelm 2 + Starboard 2 Positioning\u003c\/strong\u003e – Built for the specific resistor locations in triple-engine layouts.\u003cbr data-start=\"812\" data-end=\"815\"\u003e    • \u003cstrong data-start=\"841\" data-end=\"864\"\u003eTriple-Engine Ready\u003c\/strong\u003e – Designed for three-engine DTS Shadow Mode rigs.\u003cbr data-start=\"914\" data-end=\"917\"\u003e    • \u003cstrong data-start=\"943\" data-end=\"960\"\u003eDual-Helm Use\u003c\/strong\u003e – Intended for systems with upper and lower control stations.\u003cbr data-start=\"1022\" data-end=\"1025\"\u003e    • \u003cstrong data-start=\"1051\" data-end=\"1063\"\u003eOEM Spec\u003c\/strong\u003e – Fits 2006-and-newer Gen I DTS setups.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-start=\"1105\" data-end=\"1108\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1110\" data-end=\"1352\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1110\" data-end=\"1141\"\u003eEngine \u0026amp; Boat Compatibility\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1141\" data-end=\"1144\"\u003e    • Digital Throttle and Shift Gen I\u003cbr data-start=\"1202\" data-end=\"1205\"\u003e    • Triple engine\u003cbr data-start=\"1244\" data-end=\"1247\"\u003e    • Dual-helm installations\u003cbr data-start=\"1296\" data-end=\"1299\"\u003e    • Shadow Mode systems (2006+)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-start=\"1354\" data-end=\"1357\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1359\" data-end=\"1803\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1359\" data-end=\"1395\"\u003ePerformance \u0026amp; Practical Benefits\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1395\" data-end=\"1398\"\u003eWith the right resistor in place, Shadow Mode responds smoothly across all three engines, even when switching between helms. The system doesn’t “hunt” or lag because the network load stays where it’s supposed to be. Docking and slow-speed work feel more controlled, and troubleshooting is easier since the electrical path stays stable. It’s a simple part that helps the whole system feel more predictable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-start=\"1805\" data-end=\"1808\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1810\" data-end=\"2136\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1810\" data-end=\"1825\"\u003eWhy Buy OEM\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1825\" data-end=\"1828\"\u003eOEM resistor packs match Mercury’s DTS specs exactly, so you don’t run into odd glitches or timing issues between engines.
