Mercury – Gen II Console Mount Dual Control, With Trim | Mechanical Remote Control | 8M0075245

Overview

This control is built for twin outboards where trim gets used all the time, not just once in a while. It’s a Gen II mechanical console control with a layout that makes sense once you’ve run it a bit. You’ve got one trim switch in the port handle to move both engines together, which is handy when you’re getting on plane or coming back to the dock. When one side needs a little tweak, the individual trim buttons are right there. It’s a solid setup for boats that actually get driven, not just idled around.

Performance & Practical Benefits

Running twins with this control feels less busy than you’d expect. Bringing both engines up together is quick and clean, especially when you’re loading the boat or pulling onto plane. When one motor needs a little correction, the individual trim buttons save you from guessing. Once it’s dialed in, everything feels steady and predictable.

Why Buy OEM

OEM Mercury controls are built around Mercury trim wiring and cable geometry, which matters a lot with twin engines. Both sides respond the same way, without lag or odd behavior. They also tend to hold adjustment better over time. When you’re dealing with twins, OEM usually makes life easier.
