Mercury – Global Wake Harness | 50-Foot Harness | 84-8M0173580

Overview
This 50-foot Global Wake harness is made for boats where the wake module sits a long way from the rig center. When the wiring has to run down long rigging channels, around bulkheads, or across a wide transom, the standard harness can feel way too short. This longer run gives the cable room to breathe so you’re not forcing tight bends or pulling it across sharp corners. It keeps the wake wiring calmer, cleaner, and a lot easier to work with.

Key Features
    • 50-Foot Length – Long reach for extended wake-system runs.
    • Global Wake Application – Meant for wake-control wiring paths.
    • OEM Connectors – Factory ends that click in solid and stay put.
    • Easy Routing – Helps you avoid tight turns and rubbing points.
    • Steady Signal Flow – Keeps wake features responding normally.

Engine & Boat Compatibility
    • Boats with wake-control systems
    • Digital rigging layouts
    • Global wake wiring routes

Performance & Practical Benefits
The extra slack lets the harness follow a smoother route instead of being crammed through tight spots. Wake functions usually feel more predictable because nothing is kinked or under tension. It also gives you space to work in the rigging bay, which makes service a lot less aggravating. On big hulls—especially wide-beam setups—this extra reach makes things a whole lot easier.

Why Buy OEM
OEM harnesses hold up better to vibration, heat, and saltwater, and the connectors fit exactly as Mercury designed. That means fewer loose plugs, fewer strange glitches, and more reliable wake-system behavior.

FAQ
Q1: How do I know I need the 50-foot version?
A: If the wake-system wiring still feels tight after routing, this length usually solves it.

Q2: Any setup required?
A: Nope—just plug it in.

Q3: Good for saltwater boats?
A: Yes. A quick rinse and connector check is all it needs.

Q4: Any install tips?
A: Route it with wide, gentle curves so the jacket doesn’t rub or pinch.

Q5: What are signs the harness may be wearing out?
A: Hesitant wake response, random signal dropouts, or scuffed jacket sections.
