Multiple-Engine Controls
Next Gen DTS Multi-Engine Control for 2 to 4 Engines

An Intuitive, Integrated, Intelligent Control for Multiple Mercury Engines

The Next Generation Digital Throttle & Shift (DTS) control delivers smooth, quiet shifting and instant throttle response, with zero hesitation. With integrated SmartCraft® technologies and an intuitive user interface, the control puts you in complete command of your adventures.

High Style and Highly Functional

Whether you want to throttle up or comfortably cruise, the sleek, ergonomic throttle handles and easy-to-reach control buttons seamlessly connect you with your Mercury propulsion system. Even the base was designed with a comfortable shape and a grip ledge for extra stability when driving in rough seas.

Driving Made Easier

Every button, every indicator light, every engine control was scrutinized through intensive usability testing to ensure the Next Gen DTS controls are easy and intuitive to use. So you can handle the boat with confidence and precision.

Built for all Your Adventures

Next Gen DTS delivers a premium driving experience for wherever the water takes you. It’s compatible with all Mercury DTS-enabled outboard, sterndrive, inboard and diesel engines. That includes the V8 and V6 FourStroke outboards and the legendary Verado® engine family.

In Sync or Individually, You Decide How to Control Your Engines

With the option to trim engines individually or all at once, you can dial in your boat’s running attitude to handle any conditions on the water. There’s also a convenient start/stop-all button incorporated directly on the control, eliminating the need for additional start/stop pads.

Software that Supports You and Your Boat

Next Gen DTS leverages a robust and reliable operating system. Though you won’t sense it working, you’ll certainly notice the results. The operating system supports basic engine functions and has been upgraded to enhance throttle control for connected SmartCraft systems such as Joystick Piloting and Skyhook®.

SmartCraft Integration Enhances the Boating Experience

Mercury incorporated its popular Active Trim feature directly on the control, making it simple to activate the industry’s first GPS speed-based automatic trim system. Active Trim continually and automatically adjusts engine trim to improve performance, fuel economy and ease of operation.

You’re Fully Covered – Right Down to the Controls and Gauges

If your boat manufacturer or dealer uses genuine Mercury gauges and controls when installing your new engine, the warranty coverage for those rigging components will be extended to match the total warranty of your engine.
