Mercury – Global Wake Harness | 70-Foot Harness | 84-8M0173582

Overview
This 70-foot Global Wake harness is made for big boats where the wake module sits a long way from the rig center. When the wiring has to travel through long rigging tunnels, around bulkheads, or across a wide transom, the shorter harnesses just won’t cut it. This longer run gives the cable the room it needs so you’re not forcing tight bends or stretching anything. It helps the wake system stay steady and keeps the whole setup easier to work with.

Performance & Practical Benefits
With this much length, the harness can take an easy, natural route instead of being crammed around corners. The wake system usually feels more consistent because the wiring isn’t kinked or under strain. It also gives you more breathing room in the rigging bay, which really helps when you’re tracking a connection or making changes later. On larger hulls, this extra slack makes everything feel calmer and less cramped.

Why Buy OEM
OEM harnesses handle heat, vibration, and saltwater better than generic options. The connectors fit exactly how Mercury designed them, which means fewer loose plugs and fewer random glitches. It’s wiring you can rely on over the long haul.

FAQ
Q1: How do I know I need the 70-foot version?
A: If the wake-system run is long enough that even a 60-footer feels tight, this is the length that gives you the room you need.

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

Q3: Is it fine for saltwater boats?
A: Yes. Just rinse occasionally and check the connectors.

Q4: Any installation tips?
A: Use smooth curves and avoid rubbing points so the harness isn’t stressed.

Q5: What are early signs of wear?
A: Sluggish wake response, intermittent signals, or visible jacket scuffing.
