Standard Twin Mercury Engine Keyless Ignition with Keyless Stop/Start, Remote Stop/Start, & Ecos
CoastKey Standard for Mercury is a full-fledged wireless system with remote Start/Stop, 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 2-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.
Features:
CoastKey Basic is the basic version of CoastKey. In addition to the control box and cables, it consists of a Start Panel which is mounted at the steering position. To “unlock” you simply enter a PIN code instead of using an ignition key. The obvious advantage of this solution is that you have keyless access to the boat and if there are several people using the boat, everyone has the same access without having to have their own keys. It is easy to change the PIN code to restrict access, for example after renting out the boat.
If you have a newer Mercury brand engine, installation is incredibly easy. The CoastKey Start Panel fits right into the same hole as the ignition switch and the connectors on the included cable fit right into the existing wiring harness. Truly PLUG & PLAY.
