Mercury – Zero Effort Digital Control (Port Mount) | Remote Control | 8M0095632

Overview
This Zero Effort control gives you a clean, direct setup with a separate shift lever and throttle lever mounted on the port side. Each lever has its own feel, so you can run the boat by touch without second-guessing which one you grabbed. The motion is smooth and steady, which helps a lot when the boat is running hard or the water’s rough. It’s built for race outboards and high-performance stern drives that depend on DTS for quick, reliable response.

Key Features
 • Two-Lever Layout – One lever for shifting, one for throttle, each with its own clear role.
 • Digital Throttle and Shift – Smooth, predictable response from idle to wide-open.
 • Port-Mount Design – Sets the control on the port side for performance-style layouts.
 • Performance Build – Suited for race rigs and fast stern drive setups.
 • Color-Coded Knobs – Black knob for shift and red knob for throttle for quick ID.

Performance & Practical Benefits
Out on the water, the split-lever setup makes the boat feel more connected to your hands. The throttle moves in a smooth arc, helping you settle into the right spot without overshooting. The shift lever has a clear, firm click that’s easy to feel even when the boat’s bouncing. It’s a simple, predictable setup that makes fast boats easier to handle when things get busy.

Why Buy OEM
OEM controls keep DTS communication crisp, which is something you feel right away on a performance boat. Mercury’s calibration stays consistent over time, so the response doesn’t drift as the seasons go by. It’s the kind of reliability racers and performance boaters stick with because it removes guesswork at the helm.

FAQ
Q1: How do I know if this control style fits my boat?
A: If you prefer separate throttle and shift levers and run a DTS performance setup, this layout usually feels right at home.

Q2: Does it need setup after installation?
A: Yes—there’s a quick configuration step to sync it with the DTS system.

Q3: How does it handle saltwater?
A: It does fine with a simple rinse around the helm after each trip.

Q4: What should I check before mounting it?
A: Make sure you have enough port-side top-mount space and a clean route for the harness underneath.

Q5: What if a lever starts feeling inconsistent?
A: It’s often a calibration or wiring issue rather than a failure of the control itself.
