Mercury – SmartCraft Pitot Sensor Kit | Pressure-Based Speed Input | 8M0090447

Overview

Many mid-range FourStroke engines don’t include a built-in way to deliver pitot-based speed data to SmartCraft, and that’s where this kit comes in. The Mercury 8M0090447 SmartCraft Pitot Sensor Kit gives the engine a clean pressure signal that SmartCraft gauges can read as boat speed. It’s a simple add-on that keeps the helm informed without relying on a paddle wheel or GPS, and it’s built specifically for the popular 2.1L F75–115 and 150 FourStroke platforms.

Key Features

• SmartCraft Speed Input – Feeds pressure-based speed data to compatible SmartCraft gauges.
• Designed for FourStroke Models – Built for 2.1L F75, F90, F115, and the 150 FourStroke.
• Consistent Pressure Reading – Pitot system supplies a steady, responsive speed signal.
• Clean OEM Integration – Connects directly into the SmartCraft harness with factory connectors.
• Reliable Non-GPS Option – Ideal for setups that want traditional pitot-style speed without a paddle wheel.
• Marine-Ready Build – Sensor and fittings handle continuous water exposure and vibration.

Compatibility

• Mercury 2.1L F75 FourStroke
• Mercury 2.1L F90 FourStroke
• Mercury 2.1L F115 FourStroke
• Mercury 150 FourStroke
• SmartCraft-capable helm setups

Performance & Practical Benefits

The sensor reacts quickly to water pressure changes, giving SmartCraft gauges a smooth, predictable speed reading across the boat’s normal operating range. It’s a reliable choice for anglers and recreational boaters who want speed data without adding another transducer or complicated wiring. Once installed, the signal stays steady, and the helm display updates cleanly with your real-time speed.

Why Buy OEM

Pitot sensors depend on proper calibration and solid construction, especially when mounted in high-spray zones. Mercury’s OEM kit is matched to SmartCraft’s signal expectations, ensuring the gauges display correct readings. Lower-quality sensors often drift or clog, but the factory unit delivers the consistency and durability needed for long-term use.
