Common Concerns Answered
How does the CoastKey Premium Plus system prevent accidental engine start?
The system requires a specific PIN code entry or valid wireless FOB proximity to engage the ignition sequence, preventing accidental starts. Furthermore, the integrated wireless lanyard Man Overboard system will immediately stop the engine if the lanyard is detached from the operator.
What is the range of the wireless remote FOB for the CoastKey Premium Plus?
The specific operational range for the wireless FOB is not detailed in the provided specifications, but typical marine wireless systems offer reliable connectivity within a significant distance around the vessel, suitable for docking and general operation.
What happens if the wireless FOB is lost or not within range?
If the wireless FOB is lost or out of range, the engine can still be started and operated using the PIN code entry directly on the Start Panel, ensuring continued functionality and access.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I still use my existing kill switch lanyard with the CoastKey Premium Plus?
The CoastKey Premium Plus incorporates its own wireless lanyard Man Overboard safety system, which serves the same critical function as a traditional kill switch lanyard. The system is designed to function independently and does not require integration with a separate mechanical kill switch.

Yes, the CoastKey Premium Plus features a second auxiliary wireless function (Aux 2) that can be configured to control additional compatible marine accessories, offering expanded operational capabilities beyond just trim and tilt.
Is the CoastKey Premium Plus compatible with all Mercury engines?
The system is specifically designed for 'Plug & Play' installation on compatible Mercury engines, implying direct fitment for certain models. Compatibility should be verified for specific engine years and serial numbers to ensure seamless integration.
How is the CoastKey Premium Plus installed on a Mercury engine?
For compatible Mercury engines, installation is simplified to a 'Plug & Play' process, meaning it connects directly to existing wiring harnesses and mounting points. Basic electrical knowledge may be required for non-plug-and-play integrations or when setting up auxiliary functions.
What is the difference between CoastKey Basic and CoastKey Premium Plus?
The CoastKey Premium Plus offers enhanced functionality over the Basic model, including wireless remote trim/tilt control (Aux 1) and an additional programmable wireless auxiliary function (Aux 2), in addition to the core keyless ignition and man overboard safety features present in both.
