Common Concerns Answered
How does the CoastKey Premium Plus system prevent accidental engine start?
The system requires a valid PIN code or the presence of the wireless FOB for engine ignition, and it features a wireless lanyard man overboard safety system that will shut down the engine if the operator becomes separated from the vessel.
What is the range of the wireless remote FOB for the CoastKey Premium Plus?
While specific range is not detailed, the wireless FOB provides remote control functionality, implying a practical operating distance suitable for typical boating scenarios. The system's effectiveness relies on the FOB remaining within the operating range for remote commands.
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 on the start panel, ensuring continued usability of the vessel.
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 that functions similarly to a traditional kill switch but without a physical lanyard attached to the operator. It is designed to replace the need for a conventional kill switch lanyard.
Can the CoastKey Premium Plus control other accessories besides trim/tilt?
Yes, the system includes a second auxiliary wireless function (Aux 2) that can be configured to control other compatible marine accessories, offering expanded control capabilities.
Is the CoastKey Premium Plus compatible with all Mercury engines?
The system is designed for plug-and-play installation on compatible Mercury engines. Compatibility with specific older or non-standard Mercury engines may require verification or additional integration steps.
How is the CoastKey Premium Plus installed on a Mercury engine?
For compatible Mercury engines, installation is described as 'Plug & Play,' meaning it fits into existing mounting holes and connectors. For non-plug-and-play applications or auxiliary function integration, basic electrical knowledge may be required.
What is the difference between CoastKey Basic and CoastKey Premium Plus?
The Premium Plus model significantly expands functionality over the Basic version by adding wireless remote trim/tilt control (Aux 1), an additional wireless auxiliary function control (Aux 2), and a 5-button wireless remote FOB, providing a more comprehensive remote management solution.
