Common Concerns Answered
Is the CoastKey Premium Plus compatible with engines other than Mercury?
The CoastKey Premium Plus is specifically engineered for seamless Plug & Play installation on compatible Mercury engines, maximizing ease of use and reliability for that platform. Compatibility with non-Mercury engines is limited.
What is the price point compared to basic ignition systems?
While the advanced feature set of the CoastKey Premium Plus places it at a higher price point than basic ignition switches, the integrated keyless operation, remote controls, and wireless MOB safety provide significant value and enhanced functionality for triple Mercury engine configurations.
Are there concerns about the reliability of wireless functions?
CoastKey systems utilize robust wireless technology designed for the marine environment. While there may be an initial learning curve for advanced functions, user sentiment is highly positive, with appreciation for the convenience and reliable performance once familiarized.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can the CoastKey Premium Plus be installed on engines other than Mercury?
The CoastKey Premium Plus is designed for Plug & Play installation specifically on compatible Mercury engines. Modifications for other engine brands may be possible but are not supported Plug & Play and may require professional installation.
What is the range of the wireless remote FOB?
The typical operating range for the wireless remote FOB is sufficient for docking and general boat operation, generally extending up to 30 meters (approximately 98 feet) in clear line-of-sight conditions.
Does the CoastKey system replace the physical ignition key entirely?
Yes, the CoastKey system completely eliminates the need for a physical ignition key. Engine start, stop, and ignition are all managed wirelessly via the FOB or by entering a PIN code on the start panel.
How does the man overboard safety feature work?
When the wireless MOB lanyard is activated (either by accidental detachment or deliberate action), it immediately transmits a signal to the CoastKey system, which shuts down all connected engines to prevent the vessel from moving away from a person in the water.
What are the 'Wireless Function Aux 1' and 'Wireless Function Aux 2' typically used for?
These auxiliary outputs can be programmed to control various 12V DC accessories wirelessly. Common applications include operating a bow thruster, windlass, spotlight, or other boat systems that can be triggered by a momentary or latching signal.
