Precision Parts/Quicksilver Accessories Guide.
The Digital Throttle and Shift System (DTS) required to operate this engine package
provides start and stop functions, throttle control, shift control, start in gear protection, and
emergency lanyard stop functions. The DTS system works with specialized helm
components such as a command module kit and electronic remote control. Consult your
dealer for a description and/or demonstration of your remote control.
