Performance & Practical Benefits

This harness takes care of a simple but important job—joining two pieces of a CAN network so data flows smoothly between modules. It keeps the wiring neat, prevents the guesswork of improvised connections, and helps the whole system behave like one unified backbone. Once clicked into place, the communication path stays steady and reliable.

Why Buy OEM

CAN systems depend on tight-fitting connectors and accurate pin alignment. Mercury’s OEM harness ensures a clean connection that won’t loosen or introduce noise into the network. Off-brand jumpers often fit sloppy or cause odd glitches, but the factory version holds up through vibration, heat, and long days on the water.
