Mercury – Quad Engine DTS Electronic Remote Control with Trim | Remote Control | 8M0133246

Overview
This quad-engine DTS control gives you a steady, predictable feel when you’re managing four motors from one helm. The levers move smoothly, so you can make small throttle bumps without overshooting—something you really notice in tight marinas. The buttons sit in a natural spot, making it easy to stay focused on the bow instead of digging around the console. With Active Trim built right into the control, the whole setup stays cleaner and easier to run.

Performance & Practical Benefits
On the water, this control settles a big quad-engine setup into a calmer, easier rhythm. The levers respond cleanly, which helps when wind or current is trying to push the bow around. Trim All smooths the boat as you come onto plane, and individual trim lets you straighten out small quirks in steering or weight. Everything feels controlled instead of chaotic, especially in tight, real-world marina work.

Why Buy OEM
OEM DTS controls keep all four engines and helm stations communicating clearly, which cuts down on hesitation or uneven response. Mercury’s calibration stays consistent over the years, so the feel doesn’t drift season to season. It’s the reliable route for serious multi-engine offshore setups.

FAQ
Q1: How can I tell if my old quad control is wearing out?
A: Uneven throttle movement, sticky shifts, or trim buttons missing a press are common early signs.

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

Q3: Is it okay for saltwater use?
A: Yes—rinse it after trips and follow normal helm care.

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

Q5: What if Active Trim stops reacting?
A: It’s usually a GPS or calibration issue, and the system will fall back to manual trim until the signal stabilizes.
