The extra length makes routing easier, especially when the actuator sits farther from the rigging path. Each actuator uses its own harness, so nothing has to share power. Once it’s installed, the steering usually feels a bit smoother and more consistent during slow, careful moves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-start=\"484\" data-end=\"487\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"489\" data-end=\"870\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"489\" data-end=\"505\"\u003eKey Features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"505\" data-end=\"508\"\u003e • \u003cstrong data-start=\"511\" data-end=\"529\"\u003e8-Foot Harness\u003c\/strong\u003e – Gives you more room to make a clean wiring run.\u003cbr data-start=\"579\" data-end=\"582\"\u003e • \u003cstrong data-start=\"585\" data-end=\"609\"\u003ePower + Ground Leads\u003c\/strong\u003e – Feeds the actuator with a direct, stable connection.\u003cbr data-start=\"664\" data-end=\"667\"\u003e • \u003cstrong data-start=\"670\" data-end=\"694\"\u003eSimple Plug-In Setup\u003c\/strong\u003e – No adapters or extra parts needed.\u003cbr data-start=\"731\" data-end=\"734\"\u003e • \u003cstrong data-start=\"737\" data-end=\"757\"\u003eOne Per Actuator\u003c\/strong\u003e – Every actuator needs its own harness.\u003cbr data-start=\"797\" data-end=\"800\"\u003e • \u003cstrong data-start=\"803\" data-end=\"824\"\u003eOEM Marine Wiring\u003c\/strong\u003e – Built to hold up to vibration and moisture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-start=\"872\" data-end=\"875\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"877\" data-end=\"1034\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"877\" data-end=\"908\"\u003eEngine \u0026amp; Boat Compatibility\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"908\" data-end=\"911\"\u003e • Electric steering actuators\u003cbr data-start=\"941\" data-end=\"944\"\u003e • Digital Throttle and Shift\u003cbr data-start=\"973\" data-end=\"976\"\u003e • SmartCraft network\u003cbr data-start=\"997\" data-end=\"1000\"\u003e • Single- and multi-station boats\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-start=\"1036\" data-end=\"1039\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1041\" data-end=\"1364\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1041\" data-end=\"1077\"\u003ePerformance \u0026amp; Practical Benefits\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1077\" data-end=\"1080\"\u003eOn the water, a clean power feed helps the actuator react without lag.
