Mercury – Dual Engine DTS Electronic Remote Control | Remote Control | 8M0133242

Overview
This dual-handle DTS control gives you a smooth, steady feel when managing two engines from the helm. The levers move cleanly without that jerky jump you sometimes get with worn controls, and the buttons sit where your hand naturally reaches. Whether you’re easing into a slip or getting the boat lined up in a tight fairway, it reacts in a calm, predictable way. Since it’s already set for a single-helm DTS layout, it settles into the system without much fuss.

Key Features
 • Dual DTS Levers – Provides smooth, balanced throttle and shift response for both engines.
 • Throttle-Only Mode – Helps with warmups and slow maneuvering.
 • One-Lever Mode – Lets you run both engines from one lever when you want everything moving together.
 • Helm Transfer – Allows control handoff between stations on multi-helm boats.
 • Global Dimming – Softens indicator lighting for night or low-light use.
 • Start/Stop Options – Supports all-engine and individual engine start and stop.
 • Neutral Indicator Light – Confirms when the control is sitting cleanly in neutral.

 • Dual-engine
 • SmartCraft control system

Performance & Practical Benefits
On the water, this control has a steady, relaxed feel that helps when you’re working a twin-engine boat around tight spaces. One-Lever Mode makes life easier when you want both motors responding the same without managing two levers at once. The layout keeps your hand movements simple, and the levers settle into small adjustments without overshooting. It’s the kind of control that becomes second nature after a few runs.

Why Buy OEM
OEM DTS controls keep the communication clean between both engines and the helm. Mercury’s calibration stays true over time, so the response doesn’t drift from season to season. It’s a reliable, long-term option for anyone running a twin-engine setup.

FAQ
Q1: How can I tell if my old dual control is starting to fade?
A: Sticky shifts, uneven throttle feel, or buttons that miss a press are common early signs.

Q2: Does this unit need setup after installation?
A: Yes, it needs a quick configuration to sync with the DTS system.

Q3: Is this good for saltwater use?
A: Yes—just rinse it after trips and keep up with normal helm care.

Q4: Anything to check before mounting it?
A: Make sure the console has enough depth for the wiring and the dual-lever footprint.

Q5: What if the neutral indicator starts acting odd?
A: That usually points to a calibration or sensor issue rather than the control itself.
