Mercury – Mid Triple Helm Harness Quad Engine | Next Gen DTS Helm Harness | 98-8M0165541

Overview
This harness handles the middle helm on a quad-engine, triple-station DTS setup. It gives the mid helm its own clean route into the system so the wiring isn’t crammed in with everything else. When all three stations are tied together with the right harnesses, the controls feel smoother and the layout doesn’t turn into a jumble. It’s a small piece, but it makes a big setup easier to live with.

Performance & Practical Benefits
With a dedicated path for the mid helm, the controls feel steadier and more in sync from station to station. You don’t get that laggy or uneven response that happens when wiring is squeezed into a tight space. And when it’s time for service, the layout is much easier to follow instead of feeling like a guessing game. It makes a complex setup feel a lot calmer.

Why Buy OEM
OEM harnesses fit the system the way Mercury designed, so the connections stay tight and the signals stay clean. They also hold up well in real marine conditions—vibration, heat, salt spray, all of it. It’s wiring you can trust long-term.
