CoastKey PREMIUM for Mercury is a full-fledged wireless system with remote-controlled START/STOP and remote-controlled TRIM/TILT in addition to a wireless lanyard function. In addition to the control box, cables and Start Panel (which is mounted at the steering position), the system is equipped with a 5-button wireless remote-control FOB. In addition to the benefits of using the Start Panel (described under BASIC below), the FOB can be used to switch on the ignition and start and stop the engine wirelessly. When you have the FOB with you, it is not necessary to enter the PIN code to unlock the panel (although you can always start the engine that way).

By wearing the FOB at all times, the boat operator is secured with one of the market’s best wireless lanyard systems, which ensures that the boat stops if you fall overboard.

With PREMIUM, you also have the option to remotely Trim/Tilt the motor. Handy when you get to the boat and can stand on the jetty and tilt down the engine and then start it before getting on board and casting off. This is also useful when launching with a boat trailer.
