I see guys on the net have cut the harness on the cables to get them through tight spots, and then splice them back together, I would strongly advise you DO NOT DO THIS. you may also have to upgrade to a digital sender 50$) like wema (others are listed on the merc website) mine had one and works fine. one lead of this harness is fuel 1, it needs to tie in to the fuel tank sending unit, and you need to be sure the unit is also grounded, or it won't work. If you do not buy or connect this harness, you will not have paddle wheel input (troll control, or slow speed speedo) or remote oil (or water or waste) tank level, or more importantly fuel level. I could not find any info on the fuel oil and paddlewheel harness and thought it was going to connect to the junction box, but it came with a different connector, so I found one in the engine same size, and with the same wire colors. (pointing to fuel, oil, paddle wheel harness) Here is an image of the area with the two smart craft harnesses connected (blue network cable, and Fuel, oil, and paddle wheel harness)
#MERCURY SMARTCRAFT INSTALLATION MANUAL INSTALL#
Here is the rough overview of my install in my 2008 PolarKraft Kodiak 178 FS with a 150hp optimax.įirst was the completely unknown connector in the engine, this was easly found once I knew that there had to be a terminator resistor on it, so you look for a connector that ends (near the front righthand side) that has a yellow cap that reads "terminator" keep it, you will need it. I can help you with part numbers, harnesses, connectors etc.
#MERCURY SMARTCRAFT INSTALLATION MANUAL HOW TO#
I took the leap, taught myself a lot and would like to share with you guys how to do it. If you have any questions, please post it on this forum, not by PM I was like many of you (I can tell by all of the questions floating around on these forums), wanting to install a smartcraft system in my boat, but found there is little accurate info out there.
