Mercury – Zero Effort Digital Control (4-Lever, Starboard Mount) | Remote Control | 8M0085804

Overview
This Zero Effort control gives you a four-lever setup that keeps throttle and shift completely separate, making it easier to run a performance boat by feel. Each lever moves with a smooth, steady pull, so you can settle into the exact spot you want without overshooting. The color-coded knobs—red for throttle and black for shift—make it easy to grab the right handle when things get busy. Mounted on the starboard side, it fits naturally into most high-speed and race-style helm layouts.

Performance & Practical Benefits
Out on the water, the separated throttle and shift levers make the boat feel more connected to your hands, especially when you’re running fast or carving through messy water. The throttle levers settle into place without that jumpy feel, which helps when you’re trimming for clean water or dialing in speed. The shift levers have a clear, confident action that’s easy to recognize, even when the hull is bouncing. It’s a straightforward setup that keeps the helm calm and predictable.

Why Buy OEM
OEM controls keep DTS communication tight, which shows up immediately in clean shifts and steady throttle feel. Mercury’s calibration stays consistent over time, so the control doesn’t drift or develop quirks as seasons pass. It’s the setup performance boaters lean on when they want smooth, repeatable control run after run.

A: Yes, just a quick DTS configuration so everything syncs correctly.

Q3: Is it suitable for saltwater use?
A: Yes—just rinse around the helm after your runs and follow normal care.
