Mercury – Stern Data Cable (15 ft, 10-Pin CAN) | Rigging Accessory | 84-8M0174052

Overview
This 15-foot stern data cable links your aft rigging to the rest of the SmartCraft network through a clean 10-pin CAN connection. It’s the cable that carries all the engine and system data forward without dropouts or signal noise. The length gives you enough room to route it neatly through tight rigging paths. Once it’s in place, the network tends to run smoother and more reliably.

Performance & Practical Benefits
A solid CAN cable keeps your gauges, displays, and modules talking without the flickers or dropouts that show up with weak wiring. The 15-foot length makes routing easier so you’re not forcing the cable around sharp corners or pulling it tight. You’ll usually notice steadier readings and smoother network behavior once everything is tied together properly.

Why Buy OEM
OEM CAN cables match Mercury’s connectors and wiring specs, which means fewer headaches and fewer surprises. The fittings latch properly, the insulation lasts, and the system stays stable season after season.

FAQ
Q1: How do I know if I need this cable?
A: If you’re running SmartCraft data from the stern forward—or replacing a damaged CAN cable—this is the correct style.

Q2: Is 15 feet long enough for most installs?
A: Yes for many boats, but longer runs may need additional extension cables.

Q3: Is it OK for saltwater boats?
A: Yes—just keep the connectors clean and dry as part of normal maintenance.

Q4: Anything to check before installing?
A: Make sure the routing path won’t kink or pinch the cable.

A: That usually points to a different CAN connection or module issue.
