The Mercury 84-879171T22 Extension Cable adds 6.6 feet of length to the GPS line used with the 8M0024918 kit, giving you the flexibility to route the antenna to a better spot without fighting tight bends or short harness runs. It’s made for CAN P GPS systems on boats without an Auto Pilot module, and once connected, the system simply continues passing GPS data without any setup or drama.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-start=\"577\" data-end=\"580\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"582\" data-end=\"598\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"582\" data-end=\"598\"\u003eKey Features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"602\" data-end=\"692\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"602\" data-end=\"626\"\u003e6.6-Foot Extension –\u003c\/strong\u003e Provides extra length for longer or more complex rigging paths.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"695\" data-end=\"788\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"695\" data-end=\"717\"\u003eCAN P GPS Signal –\u003c\/strong\u003e Carries the dedicated GPS feed used on non-Auto Pilot installations.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"791\" data-end=\"858\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"791\" data-end=\"810\"\u003eGPS Kit Ready –\u003c\/strong\u003e Built specifically for the 8M0024918 GPS Kit.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"861\" data-end=\"947\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"861\" data-end=\"881\"\u003eOEM Connectors –\u003c\/strong\u003e Uses factory-style ends for a clean, direct plug-in connection.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"950\" data-end=\"1040\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"950\" data-end=\"976\"\u003eReliable Signal Path –\u003c\/strong\u003e Maintains steady GPS communication across the added distance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1043\" data-end=\"1136\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"1043\" data-end=\"1071\"\u003eFlexible Cable Routing –\u003c\/strong\u003e Easy to run through tighter spaces or around layout obstacles.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr data-start=\"1138\" data-end=\"1141\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1143\" data-end=\"1160\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1143\" data-end=\"1160\"\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1164\" data-end=\"1183\"\u003eGPS Kit 8M0024918\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1186\" data-end=\"1212\"\u003eCAN P GPS signal systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1215\" data-end=\"1249\"\u003eBoats without Auto Pilot modules\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr data-start=\"1251\" data-end=\"1254\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1256\" data-end=\"1292\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1256\" data-end=\"1292\"\u003ePerformance \u0026amp; Practical Benefits\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1294\" data-end=\"1747\"\u003eThis extension cable lets you mount the GPS antenna where it works best without forcing awkward routing or stretching the original harness. The added length is especially helpful on larger consoles, wider transoms, or layouts where the cleanest mounting point is just out of reach. Once installed, the GPS feed stays stable, speed readings remain smooth, and position data stays accurate. It’s a simple cable that solves a very common rigging challenge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-start=\"1749\" data-end=\"1752\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1754\" data-end=\"1769\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1754\" data-end=\"1769\"\u003eWhy Buy OEM\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1771\" data-end=\"2118\"\u003eGPS wiring needs solid shielding and tight connector tolerances to keep the signal clean.

With the OEM version, the system communicates reliably and holds up to vibration, heat, and long-term marine use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-start=\"2120\" data-end=\"2123\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2125\" data-end=\"2132\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2125\" data-end=\"2132\"\u003eFAQ\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2134\" data-end=\"2342\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2134\" data-end=\"2210\"\u003eQ1: When would I need the 6.6-foot extension instead of the shorter one?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"2210\" data-end=\"2213\"\u003eIf the antenna needs to reach a higher mount point or a distant console location, this longer extension gives you the extra room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2344\" data-end=\"2463\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2344\" data-end=\"2395\"\u003eQ2: Does adding this cable reduce GPS accuracy?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"2395\" data-end=\"2398\"\u003eNo. It’s designed to carry CAN P data cleanly across this length.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2465\" data-end=\"2603\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2465\" data-end=\"2526\"\u003eQ3: Can this be used on a boat with Auto Pilot installed?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"2526\" data-end=\"2529\"\u003eNo. It’s intended for GPS setups that do not include an Auto Pilot module.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2605\" data-end=\"2724\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2605\" data-end=\"2666\"\u003eQ4: Is the cable flexible enough for tight rigging areas?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"2666\" data-end=\"2669\"\u003eYes.
