Mercury – Gen II Panel Mount Remote Control, Lock Bar, No Trim | Outboard Control | 883710A01

Overview

This is one of those controls that’s been around forever because it doesn’t give people problems. It’s meant for outboards without power trim and keeps everything simple and mechanical.

Performance & Practical Benefits

On the water, this control feels familiar right away. Shifting at idle is smooth and doesn’t jerk the boat when you drop into gear. The lock bar adds a bit of confidence when you’re close to docks or loading on the trailer. Once it’s adjusted properly, it stays consistent and out of the way.

Why Buy OEM

OEM Mercury controls are made to work with Mercury cables and safety switches without any guesswork. That keeps neutral safety working correctly and cuts down on small adjustment issues later. The materials also hold up better over time in a marine environment. It’s a simple part that saves headaches.
