Performance & Practical Benefits
On the water, this control feels calm and predictable, which takes a lot of stress out of twin-engine handling. Dock Mode helps when you’re squeezing into a tight slip, and Sync keeps your engines working together on long runs. Trim-All is handy for smoothing out the boat when you’re getting on plane or dealing with crosswinds. The layout keeps your hands relaxed and your focus forward, making long days behind the helm easier.

Why Buy OEM
OEM controls keep the communication clean between both engines and the helm, cutting down on hesitation or uneven response. Mercury’s calibration stays consistent over time, so the feel doesn’t drift season to season. It’s a dependable way to keep a twin-engine DTS setup running the way it should.
