Remote Controls
IMPORTANT: Your boat must be equipped with a Mercury Marine electronic remote control. Start in gear protection is provided
by this control system and prevents the engine from starting when the control is actuated in forward or reverse. Refer to the
Mercury Precision Parts/Quicksilver Accessories Guide.
The digital throttle and shift (DTS) system required to operate this engine package provides start and stop functions, throttle

demonstration of your remote control.
