Mercury – Thruster Power to Battery Cable (30 ft) | Rigging Accessory | 84-8M0174062

Overview
This 30-foot power cable gives your thruster a solid, direct feed from the battery, which is exactly what you need on bigger boats or rigs where the battery sits a long way from the thruster module. The extra length keeps you from forcing sharp bends or stretching a shorter cable across the boat. Once it’s installed, the thruster usually reacts with steadier push, especially when you’re sliding into a slip or dealing with wind at low speeds.

Key Features
 • 30-Foot Red Power Cable – Made for long battery-to-thruster runs.
 • Direct Positive Feed – Helps the thruster get clean, steady power.
 • Reliable Voltage Delivery – Reduces that weak or hesitant thrust feel.
 • Marine-Grade Build – Tough insulation for spray, heat, and vibration.
 • OEM Fit – Designed to match Mercury thruster and JPO wiring.

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

Performance & Practical Benefits
A longer cable like this lets you route things cleanly without bending or squeezing the wire through tight spots. With a proper power feed, the thruster feels more confident and consistent—something you’ll appreciate when you’re idling around the marina or nudging the boat sideways on a breezy afternoon.

Why Buy OEM
OEM wiring holds up better in a marine environment and uses the right gauge and connectors for the load. It avoids the voltage drop, corrosion problems, and strange behavior that can pop up with generic power cables.

FAQ
Q1: When should I use the 30-foot cable?
A: When the battery is far from the thruster or the rigging path takes the long way around.

Q2: Can I trim it or shorten it?
A: Best not—cutting or splicing long power runs can cause heat and voltage issues.

Q3: Is it good for saltwater boats?
A: Yes, just keep the ends clean during washdowns.

Q4: Anything to check before routing it?
A: Make sure the cable won’t rub on sharp edges or get pinched along the way.

Q5: What if the thruster still feels weak afterward?
A: Check your battery, grounds, and terminals—low voltage upstream is a common cause.
