It’s helpful when the original lead comes up short or when you want a cleaner, gentler wiring path. Each actuator uses its own harness, which keeps the wiring relaxed instead of stretched tight. With a smoother run, steering often feels more settled during slow maneuvers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-start=\"522\" data-end=\"525\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"527\" data-end=\"901\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"527\" data-end=\"543\"\u003eKey Features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"543\" data-end=\"546\"\u003e • \u003cstrong data-start=\"549\" data-end=\"569\"\u003e5-Foot Extension\u003c\/strong\u003e – Extra length for short routing gaps.\u003cbr data-start=\"608\" data-end=\"611\"\u003e • \u003cstrong data-start=\"614\" data-end=\"628\"\u003e3-Pin Plug\u003c\/strong\u003e – Connects directly to the steering breakout lead.\u003cbr data-start=\"679\" data-end=\"682\"\u003e • \u003cstrong data-start=\"685\" data-end=\"710\"\u003eElectric Steering Use\u003c\/strong\u003e – Made for Mercury electric steering setups.\u003cbr data-start=\"755\" data-end=\"758\"\u003e • \u003cstrong data-start=\"761\" data-end=\"781\"\u003eOne Per Actuator\u003c\/strong\u003e – Each actuator needs its own extension.\u003cbr data-start=\"822\" data-end=\"825\"\u003e • \u003cstrong data-start=\"828\" data-end=\"849\"\u003eOEM Marine Wiring\u003c\/strong\u003e – Built to handle vibration, spray, and daily wear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-start=\"903\" data-end=\"906\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"908\" data-end=\"1067\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"908\" data-end=\"939\"\u003eEngine \u0026amp; Boat Compatibility\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"939\" data-end=\"942\"\u003e • Electric steering actuators\u003cbr data-start=\"972\" data-end=\"975\"\u003e • Digital Throttle and Shift\u003cbr data-start=\"1004\" data-end=\"1007\"\u003e • SmartCraft systems\u003cbr data-start=\"1028\" data-end=\"1031\"\u003e • Single- and multi-station layouts\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-start=\"1069\" data-end=\"1072\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1074\" data-end=\"1419\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1074\" data-end=\"1110\"\u003ePerformance \u0026amp; Practical Benefits\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1110\" data-end=\"1113\"\u003eWith the added length, you can route the harness in a natural path instead of forcing sharp bends or tight loops.
