Mercury – Console Mount Single Control, With Trim, Black | Mechanical Remote Control | 8M4507541

Overview

This is the kind of control you install and then forget about—in a good way. It’s a simple console mount for outboards with trim, all mechanical, so there’s nothing electronic to track down later. The black handle has a solid feel when you move it, the way a control should feel, not light or vague. The neutral lock helps keep things calm at the ramp or when you’re easing around a dock. It’s built for boats that actually get used, not just parked and polished.

 • Current Safety-Compliant Lever – Built to meet ABYC P14.5.7 requirements.

Performance & Practical Benefits

Once you’re underway, this control just feels right. Shifting at idle is smooth and controlled, without the hard clunk you get from worn or mismatched parts. Trim adjustments are easy when you’re getting on plane or dialing in the ride for changing conditions. After it’s set up properly, it stays consistent and doesn’t need attention.

Why Buy OEM

OEM Mercury controls are designed around Mercury cables and real-world rigging, not best guesses. Everything lines up the way it should, and the neutral lock behaves the same every time you use it. They also tend to hold up better on boats that see regular water time. It’s one less thing you’ll have to mess with down the road.
