Mercury – Remote Dash Pad for SmartTow | Control Interface | 87-889305T02

Overview
This remote dash pad makes it easier to move through your engine displays when the gauges aren’t in the most convenient spot. Instead of leaning or reaching, you can scroll through VesselView, SC1000 Tach, SC1000 Speed, and MercMonitor screens with a quick tap. Tow boats especially benefit from the dedicated SmartTow on/off button, keeping your timing tight when you’ve got a rider waiting. It’s a simple add-on that makes everyday helm work feel a lot smoother.

Performance & Practical Benefits
On the water, this pad keeps you from stretching across the dash or shifting your stance just to change a display screen. It’s especially helpful when you’re lining up a rider and need to toggle SmartTow quickly. The buttons give a solid, clear click, so you know the input went through even when the water gets lively. It keeps the helm zone calmer and lets you focus on timing, speed, and what’s happening off the transom.

Why Buy OEM
OEM pads keep communication clean throughout the SmartCraft network, which prevents lag or misreads when switching screens. Mercury’s calibration also ensures screens respond the same way every trip. It’s the most reliable way to add remote display control to a tow-sport setup.

A: Yes, just rinse it and follow normal helm care.

Q4: What should I check before mounting it?
