Mercury – Weather Cap | SmartCraft Junction Box Protection | 8M0210754

Open ports on a junction box can let in moisture, dust, and the kind of grime that slowly causes connection problems over time. The Mercury 8M0210754 Weather Cap takes care of that by sealing off any unused SmartCraft junction box connection points. It keeps the box clean, dry, and protected, helping the network stay stable even after long seasons on the water.

Performance & Practical Benefits

A weather cap may be small, but it prevents problems that can be frustrating and time-consuming to track down later. By keeping unused ports sealed, it helps protect the internal contacts from moisture and corrosion, which keeps SmartCraft communication steady. It installs in seconds and provides long-term peace of mind, especially on boats run in saltwater or harsh weather.

Why Buy OEM

SmartCraft network components rely on precise connections, and an OEM cap ensures the proper fit and sealing. Generic caps often don’t seat fully or allow moisture intrusion over time. Mercury’s factory design fits tight, holds up to vibration, and provides the level of protection the junction box expects.
