The 4000 MPC GEN II Pistol Grip Remote Control is a panel-mount control unit designed for marine applications, facilitating the operation of Mercury, Mariner, Force, and MerCruiser engines. It integrates throttle, shift, trim, and safety functions into a single, ergonomic pistol grip design.
The remote control manages both throttle and shift operations. The control handle moves forward from neutral for forward gear and increased speed, and backward from neutral for reverse gear and increased speed. A key feature is the Neutral Lock Button, which prevents unintentional shifting into gear. To shift, the button must be pressed and held while moving the control handle out of neutral. The Throttle Only Button allows for throttle advancement without engaging the engine's shift mechanism, useful for starting the engine in neutral. This button can only be pressed and held when the control handle is in the neutral position.
For equipped models, a Power Trim Switch allows for trimming or raising the drive unit, beneficial for trailering, launching, beaching, or shallow water operation. A Lanyard Stop Switch is also included (or can be installed as an accessory) to turn off the engine if the operator moves too far from their position, such as in an accidental ejection. The lanyard, typically 122 to 152 cm (4 to 5 feet) when stretched, connects the operator to the switch.
The control handle also features a Control Handle Friction Adjustment Nut, which allows the user to increase or decrease the tension on the control handle. This adjustment helps prevent "creep" of the handle and is factory-set but can be customized.
