Electronic Remote Control (ERC)
Electric steering requires a Digital Throttle and Shift (DTS) electronic remote control (ERC). Because it is electronic, an ERC is
capable of several features beyond the basic remote control functions of throttle and shift.
There are several DTS ERCs that can be used with electric steering, depending on the number of engines and the desired
features. The following images show the current Mercury ERCs that will function with electric steering.
