Mercury – Rig Center Kit Gen2 | Rigging Center Assembly | 98-8M0169383

Overview
This Rig Center Kit Gen2 ties together the hotfoot module, dash button, and harness so everything lands in one clean spot instead of being scattered around the helm. It’s built for the newer Digital Throttle and Shift setups, where keeping the wiring steady makes a big difference in day-to-day use. The kit keeps things organized whether you’re running a single engine or a multi-engine layout. It’s the kind of setup that makes future troubleshooting a lot easier when you’ve spent enough hours behind the wheel.

Performance & Practical Benefits
Keeping all throttle and control wiring in one place makes the boat feel calmer and more predictable, especially during tight maneuvers or long runs. With fewer loose routes behind the dash, vibrations don’t work things loose as easily. Service work becomes much more straightforward since you’re not chasing wires across the helm. The layout ends up feeling cleaner and more intentional over time.

Why Buy OEM
OEM components keep the throttle and control network steady and reduce strange behaviors that come from off-brand parts. Everything lines up with Mercury’s layout, so installation stays predictable. The materials hold up well through years of heat, movement, and salt exposure.

FAQ
Q1: How do I know I need this kit?
A: If your build uses DTS Gen2 with a hotfoot or dash-button setup, this kit ties those components together.

Q2: Does this kit need calibration?
A: No—DTS components handle their own setup routines.

Q3: How does it manage saltwater exposure?
A: With basic rinsing and normal care, it handles saltwater conditions well.

Q4: Any installation tips?
A: Install the required kit 893359K01 at the same time so the system connects correctly.
