Overview
This Zero Effort control keeps things straightforward with a clean, two-lever setup that splits throttle and shift for a more hands-on feel. The levers move with a smooth, steady resistance, which makes it easier to hold your line when the boat’s running hard. The clear anodized knobs give it a simple, performance-minded look without being flashy. It’s built for DTS-equipped race outboards and stern drives where predictable control really matters.

Performance & Practical Benefits
On the water, the split-lever layout gives you a very direct feel, which helps when you’re trimming for speed or making quick corrections. The throttle arcs smoothly, so you’re not fighting jumpy inputs when you want precise power control. The shift lever gives a confident click you can feel even with vibration or chop. It’s a simple, predictable setup that adds control without adding clutter.

Why Buy OEM
OEM controls keep DTS communication clean, which matters when you’re pushing a performance boat. Mercury’s calibration stays consistent season after season, so the throttle and shift feel doesn’t drift over time. It’s the dependable choice for rigs built to run hard.

FAQ
Q1: How do I know if this type of control is right for my setup?
A: If you like having throttle and shift separated and run a DTS performance rig, this layout usually feels natural fast.

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

Q3: Is it fine for saltwater use?
A: Yes, just rinse the helm area and keep up with normal care.

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

Q5: What if the levers start feeling uneven?
A: That’s usually a calibration or wiring issue rather than the control itself.
