Mercury – 2-Pin “Y” Adapter Harness | CAN Link Splitter | 84-896370T01

Overview

Some DTS rigs need a little more flexibility in how the CAN line runs, especially when the harness has to reach across a wide console or deeper rigging chase. The Mercury 84-896370T01 2-Pin “Y” Adapter Harness gives DTS setups a clean way to branch or extend the CAN network without cutting into the main harness. It keeps everything tidy, helps with longer runs, and makes the system easier to lay out when space is tight.

Key Features

• 2-Pin Y-Style Split – Creates two clean CAN paths from a single connection point.
• Built for DTS Engines – Designed specifically for DTS layouts that need extra CAN reach.
• Network Flexibility – Helps reroute or extend CAN lines in rigs with long or unusual layouts.
• OEM Connectors – Factory SmartCraft ends lock in tight and hold steady.
• Compact Harness Form – Fits easily behind helms and in narrow rigging spaces.
• Clean CAN Communication – Maintains a stable CAN signal across both branches.

Compatibility

• DTS SmartCraft engines
• SmartCraft CAN P / CAN X / CAN H network segments
• 2-pin SmartCraft CAN connection points

Performance & Practical Benefits

This adapter takes one CAN feed and splits it into two clean legs, which helps when the harness needs to route in different directions or cover a longer distance. It keeps the wiring organized, avoids improvised junctions, and gives the network a more natural layout. Once installed, the CAN signal moves smoothly across both branches, keeping DTS modules talking without dropouts.

Why Buy OEM

SmartCraft networks depend on solid connectors and proper shielding. Mercury’s OEM Y-harness ensures the fit is tight, the pins line up correctly, and the CAN signal stays clean. Cheaper splitters often feel loose or add electrical noise, which can show up as strange DTS behavior. The factory harness holds up well under vibration and daily use.
