Mercury – Electric Steering Harness (8 ft) | Rigging Accessory | 8M0191735

Overview
This 8-foot harness gives the electric steering actuator its own steady power and ground connection. The extra length makes routing easier, especially when the actuator sits farther from the rigging path. Each actuator uses its own harness, so nothing has to share power. Once it’s installed, the steering usually feels a bit smoother and more consistent during slow, careful moves.

Key Features
 • 8-Foot Harness – Gives you more room to make a clean wiring run.
 • Power + Ground Leads – Feeds the actuator with a direct, stable connection.
 • Simple Plug-In Setup – No adapters or extra parts needed.
 • One Per Actuator – Every actuator needs its own harness.
 • OEM Marine Wiring – Built to hold up to vibration and moisture.

Engine & Boat Compatibility
 • Electric steering actuators
 • Digital Throttle and Shift
 • SmartCraft network
 • Single- and multi-station boats

Performance & Practical Benefits
On the water, a clean power feed helps the actuator react without lag. The added length makes rigging neater and reduces the chance of tight bends or rubbing. With the wiring run correctly, steering tends to feel more settled, especially in tight areas or while lining up at the dock.

Why Buy OEM
OEM harnesses fit the connectors right and use proper marine-grade wiring, which cuts down on random electrical issues. Everything matches Mercury’s specs, so the system works the way it’s meant to.

FAQ
Q1: How can I tell if my old harness is wearing out?
A: If you see corrosion, cracked insulation, or steering cuts out at times, the harness may be the cause.

Q2: Do I only need one harness?
A: No—each actuator needs its own harness.

Q3: Is it fine for saltwater?
A: Yes, just keep the connectors clean during routine washdowns.

Q4: Anything to look at before installing?
A: Make sure the route is clear of sharp edges or tight corners that could rub the wiring.

Q5: What if steering still feels weak after installation?
A: It’s often a calibration or boat-side power issue, not the harness itself.
