Mercury – Thruster Power to Battery Cable (10 ft) | Rigging Accessory | 84-8M0174059

Overview
This 10-foot power cable supplies clean, direct battery power to a bow or stern thruster. It’s the red lead used to keep the thruster energized without voltage drop or sketchy connections. The length works well for most pontoon and JPO-style installs where the battery isn’t too far from the thruster module. Once it’s in place, you’ll usually notice stronger, more consistent thruster response.

Key Features
 • 10-Foot Power Cable – Designed for straightforward battery-to-thruster runs.
 • Red Positive Lead – Supplies clean power to the thruster system.
 • Stable Power Delivery – Helps reduce voltage drop during load.
 • Marine-Grade Build – Durable insulation for heat, vibration, and moisture.
 • OEM Fitment – Works cleanly with Mercury thruster and JPO wiring.

Engine & Boat Compatibility
 • Bow and stern thruster systems
 • Joystick Piloting for Outboards
 • Single-engine pontoon JPO
 • 12V or 24V thruster power circuits

Performance & Practical Benefits
A good power feed makes a big difference in how a thruster behaves. With a solid, dedicated cable, the thruster responds with less hesitation and holds power better in wind or current. The 10-foot length gives you enough room for a clean routing path without leaving a bunch of extra cable bunched up in the rigging.

Why Buy OEM
OEM wiring uses proper gauge, connectors, and insulation so you’re not fighting corrosion or voltage issues later. It integrates cleanly with Mercury thruster systems and keeps the whole setup reliable long-term.

FAQ
Q1: How do I know if I need this cable?
A: If you’re wiring power from the battery to a Mercury thruster module, this is the correct positive lead.

Q2: Is 10 feet long enough?
A: It works for most pontoons and small transom-to-battery runs; longer boats may need a longer lead.

Q3: Is this okay for saltwater?
A: Yes—just keep the terminals clean during normal washdowns.

Q4: Can I use a generic power cable instead?
A: It’s not recommended—incorrect gauge or insulation can cause heat or voltage issues.

Q5: What if the thruster still feels weak after installation?
A: Check grounds, connections, and battery condition—power issues often start there.
