In modern boats, precise and reliable propulsion control is essential—especially in multi-engine outboard configurations. Mercury Marine’s Multi-Engine Electronic Remote Control (ERC), featuring the Digital Throttle & Shift (DTS) system, was designed to deliver maximum comfort and precision, regardless of conditions or the operator’s experience.
Smooth Operation, Precision, and Full Engine Synchronization
The DTS system eliminates traditional mechanical linkages, replacing them with digital signal transmission. This allows for instant, seamless throttle response—without lag or jerking. The result is dramatically improved acceleration, handling, and maneuvering precision, which is especially valuable during docking or navigating tight marinas.
The One-Lever feature allows you to control all engines with a single throttle lever, simplifying operations significantly. On larger vessels, the Helm Transfer function enables easy handover of control between helm stations, offering more freedom and maneuverability.
The system also automatically synchronizes RPMs across all engines, ensuring smooth and efficient operation while optimizing fuel consumption. Continuous fine-tuning of engine parameters leads to longer range and better overall economy—an advantage especially appreciated during long-distance voyages.
Advanced Integration with SmartCraft Systems
The Multi-Engine ERC with DTS goes beyond throttle control—it’s a complete vessel management system through full integration with Mercury’s SmartCraft suite. Technologies like Active Trim, Joystick Piloting, and Skyhook provide automated trim adjustments based on speed and water conditions, precise heading and position control, and easier docking—even in challenging conditions.
All engine and onboard system parameters are clearly displayed on integrated digital screens, enhancing ease of use and boosting safety on the water.
The Multi-Engine ERC system with Mercury DTS technology sets a new standard for comfort and precision in multi-engine boat control. It is available through Parker Poland. Contact our authorized dealers for expert assistance in selecting the ideal configuration for your vessel and specific needs.
