Performance & Practical Benefits

This adapter solves a common rigging headache without adding clutter. When two male connectors need to meet, the cable drops in quickly and keeps the wiring neat. The fit is snug, the signal stays clean, and you avoid the hassle of altering the harness or forcing a connection that was never meant to pair up. It’s one of those small parts that makes rigging feel smoother.

Why Buy OEM

SmartCraft wiring depends on tight, well-made connectors. Mercury’s OEM adapter keeps the pins aligned and the shielding right so the network behaves the way it should. Cheaper adapters often feel loose or introduce noise into the CAN line, which can lead to odd communication issues. The factory version just works—and keeps working.
