Controlling your Engines with Mercury DTS

If your vessel has multiple outboards, controlling your boat can be a bit of a challenge at times. In this week’s episode of Boating Tips, Captain Keith shows how easy it is to control your Mercury Outboard Motors with the Mercury DTS system.

Multiple Outboards

From Sea Rays to the latest super center console Boston Whalers, people are adding more and more power to their vessels. It’s great to get where you’re going fast, but sometimes controlling a boat with a lot of power can be a bit challenging, especially in tight quarters. Mercury Outboard DTS controls change the game enabling you to have next-level boat control.

Benefits of Mercury DTS

The Mercury DTS controls (digital throttle and shift) is essentially your one single hub for boat control. It is intuitively designed and when coupled with joystick control enables you to manipulate your boat almost at will. This makes running, idling, approaching docks and other floating objects safely and with confidence.
