It sits low and clean on the helm, so it doesn’t add clutter or get in the way. When you’re easing into a slip, holding position, or bouncing between idle and gear, having quick access to just the starboard pair makes life a lot easier. It’s one of those small add-ons that quickly feels essential.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-start=\"596\" data-end=\"599\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"601\" data-end=\"1113\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"601\" data-end=\"617\"\u003eKey Features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"617\" data-end=\"620\"\u003e    • \u003cstrong data-start=\"646\" data-end=\"674\"\u003eStarboard Start\/Stop Pad\u003c\/strong\u003e – Controls the starboard engines with simple push-button inputs.\u003cbr data-start=\"739\" data-end=\"742\"\u003e    • \u003cstrong data-start=\"768\" data-end=\"790\"\u003eLow-Profile Design\u003c\/strong\u003e – Slim, tidy mount that blends into the helm.\u003cbr data-start=\"836\" data-end=\"839\"\u003e    • \u003cstrong data-start=\"865\" data-end=\"885\"\u003eRUN-Position Use\u003c\/strong\u003e – Works with keys already turned to RUN.\u003cbr data-start=\"926\" data-end=\"929\"\u003e    • \u003cstrong data-start=\"955\" data-end=\"980\"\u003eQuad-Engine DTS Ready\u003c\/strong\u003e – Built for four-engine DTS setups.\u003cbr data-start=\"1016\" data-end=\"1019\"\u003e    • \u003cstrong data-start=\"1045\" data-end=\"1063\"\u003eOEM Connectors\u003c\/strong\u003e – Factory plugs that seat firmly and stay secure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-start=\"1115\" data-end=\"1118\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1120\" data-end=\"1312\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1120\" data-end=\"1151\"\u003eEngine \u0026amp; Boat Compatibility\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1151\" data-end=\"1154\"\u003e    • Digital Throttle and Shift\u003cbr data-start=\"1206\" data-end=\"1209\"\u003e    • Quad engine\u003cbr data-start=\"1246\" data-end=\"1249\"\u003e    • Starboard-engine Start\/Stop positions\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-start=\"1314\" data-end=\"1317\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1319\" data-end=\"1730\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1319\" data-end=\"1355\"\u003ePerformance \u0026amp; Practical Benefits\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1355\" data-end=\"1358\"\u003eRunning four engines gets busy fast, and this pad helps by giving you quick control over the starboard pair without reaching for keys.
