It sits low and clean on the helm, so it doesn’t crowd the dash or get in your way. When you’re easing into a slip, making small course corrections, or cycling the engines during a long day on the water, having the port pair right at your fingertips makes things feel a lot more controlled. It’s a simple upgrade that’s easy to get used to.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-start=\"609\" data-end=\"612\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"614\" data-end=\"1118\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"614\" data-end=\"630\"\u003eKey Features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"630\" data-end=\"633\"\u003e    • \u003cstrong data-start=\"659\" data-end=\"687\"\u003ePort-Side Start\/Stop Pad\u003c\/strong\u003e – Push-button control for the port engines.\u003cbr data-start=\"731\" data-end=\"734\"\u003e    • \u003cstrong data-start=\"760\" data-end=\"781\"\u003eLow-Profile Mount\u003c\/strong\u003e – Keeps the helm clean and uncluttered.\u003cbr data-start=\"821\" data-end=\"824\"\u003e    • \u003cstrong data-start=\"850\" data-end=\"876\"\u003eRUN-Position Operation\u003c\/strong\u003e – Works with keys that are 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 – Designed specifically for four-engine DTS setups.\u003cbr data-start=\"1032\" data-end=\"1035\"\u003e    • \u003cstrong data-start=\"1061\" data-end=\"1079\"\u003eOEM Connectors\u003c\/strong\u003e – Factory plugs that snap in securely.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-start=\"1120\" data-end=\"1123\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1125\" data-end=\"1312\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1125\" data-end=\"1156\"\u003eEngine \u0026amp; Boat Compatibility\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1156\" data-end=\"1159\"\u003e    • Digital Throttle and Shift\u003cbr data-start=\"1211\" data-end=\"1214\"\u003e    • Quad engine\u003cbr data-start=\"1251\" data-end=\"1254\"\u003e    • Port-engine Start\/Stop positions\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-start=\"1314\" data-end=\"1317\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1319\" data-end=\"1732\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1319\" data-end=\"1355\"\u003ePerformance \u0026amp; Practical Benefits\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1355\" data-end=\"1358\"\u003eControlling four engines can get busy fast, and this pad helps by letting you manage the port pair without fumbling for keys.
