Mercury – Triple Engine LCM Zero Effort Kit | Control Module Board Assembly | 8M0157352

Overview
This kit gives an older triple-engine Zero Effort setup a clean path into modern Digital Throttle and Shift wiring. It keeps the familiar feel at the controls but lets the system run on steadier, more predictable digital communication. The board assembly helps bring some order back into the rigging, especially on boats where things have been added and patched over the years. It’s a simple way to update the system without replacing the whole control setup.

Key Features
    • Triple Control Board Assembly – Provides the main link between legacy controls and digital systems.
    • Legacy Integration – Keeps older Zero Effort Controls usable with modern DTS layouts.
    • Triple Engine Design – Built specifically for three-engine configurations.
    • Clean Digital Pathway – Supports stable communication across all throttle positions.
    • Rigging Stability – Helps reduce clutter and loose connections in older installs.

Engine & Boat Compatibility
    • Zero Effort Controls
    • Digital Throttle and Shift
    • Triple engine layouts

Performance & Practical Benefits
Once the board is in place, the engines tend to respond more evenly instead of drifting apart during slow maneuvers. The wiring becomes easier to understand and trace, which saves time when you’re trying to sort out a small issue. The whole helm feels steadier, especially when you’re running in tight spots where smooth control matters. Over longer runs, the predictable throttle behavior takes a lot of stress out of the day.

Why Buy OEM
OEM boards speak the same digital language Mercury designed the system around, so the controls behave right every time. The parts fit cleanly, hold up to heat and vibration, and keep the network from acting flaky. It’s gear you can count on for long-term use.

FAQ
Q1: How do I know I need this kit?
A: If your triple Zero Effort setup needs to interface with a modern DTS system, this board assembly fills that gap.

Q2: Do I have to calibrate anything after installing it?
A: No, the DTS system handles its own setup once the board is connected.

Q3: How does it handle saltwater?
A: With normal rinsing and a quick look over the harness now and then, it holds up well.

Q4: Any tips before installing?
A: Give yourself room to route the wiring cleanly—good layout makes future service a lot easier.

Q5: What are signs the board might be failing?
A: Uneven responses between engines or digital signals dropping out are usually the first hints.
