Common Concerns Answered
Will this system work with my older Mercury engine?
The Plug & Play installation is designed for newer Mercury engines. Compatibility with older models may require more advanced electrical knowledge or specific adapters, and is not guaranteed by the 'Plug & Play' feature.

This Premium Plus system offers extensive functionality beyond basic keyless ignition, including remote start/stop, remote trim/tilt, and a crucial wireless man overboard system, providing significant value for its comprehensive safety and convenience features.
What happens if the remote FOB is lost or not with the operator?
The system includes a PIN code unlock feature on the Start Panel, allowing engine ignition and operation even if the wireless FOB is not immediately accessible, ensuring continued usability.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the CoastKey Premium Plus Quad Mercury Engine Keyless Ignition?
It is a comprehensive wireless system designed for Mercury quad engines, providing keyless ignition, remote start/stop, remote trim/tilt control, and a wireless man overboard safety lanyard.
How does the wireless lanyard function work for man overboard safety?
The wireless lanyard connects to the operator; if the operator falls overboard, the lanyard detaches from the system, wirelessly signaling the engine to shut off immediately, preventing the boat from continuing without the crewmember.
Can I still use my existing lanyard cord with the CoastKey system?
No, this system utilizes its own proprietary wireless lanyard for man overboard protection, which communicates wirelessly with the ignition module.
What are the benefits of the 5-button wireless remote-control FOB?
The 5-button FOB allows for keyless ignition, remote engine stop/start, control of two auxiliary functions like trim/tilt or windlass, and provides a convenient way to operate multiple boat systems from a distance.
Does the CoastKey system require a PIN code to start the engine?
The system offers two methods for starting: either via the wireless FOB or by using a PIN code entered on the Start Panel, providing flexibility and backup security.
