Troubleshooting & FAQ
Q: How can I be sure this button fits my Commander control box?
A: This button fits Mercury/MerCruiser Commander 3000 and 4000 series remote controls manufactured from 1994 and up. To be certain, please compare your boat's control box model with the specific models listed in our compatibility table and verify against the OEM part number 822212T.
Q: The new button doesn't click into place or feels loose. What should I do?
A: First, ensure there is no old plastic or debris left in the opening of the control box. The button is designed for a snug fit. If it still feels wrong, double-check that your model is a Commander 3000 or 4000, as the fitment is very precise and will not work with other models.
