INSTALLATION MANUAL
IMPORTANT:This document guides our dealers, boatbuilders, and company service personnel in the proper installation
or service of our products. If you have not been trained in the recommended servicing or installation procedures for
these or similar Mercury Marine products, have the work performed by an authorized Mercury Marine dealer technician.
Improper installation or servicing of the Mercury product could result in damage to the product or personal injury to
those installing or operating the product. Always refer to the appropriate Mercury Marine service manual for component
removal and installation instructions.
NOTE: After completing installation, place these instructions with the product for the owner's future use.
Components in Kit

b - SmartCraft CONNECT module ‑ side view
c - Cable ties ‑ 4
d - #10 x .88" stainless steel wood screw
Features
The CAN P, CAN H, and NMEA lights will turn on when data is being transmitted through the gateway.
NOTE:This manual covers the installation of CAN P only ‑ engine‑mounted module (single). The helm‑mounted module
will default out of the box with CAN P and CAN H. CAN H is applicable to dual, triple, and quad DTS engine applications.

network.
SmartCraft CONNECT Module—Single through Quad‑Engine
NOTE:The SmartCraft CONNECT module does not provide power for any device on the NMEA 2000 network. The NMEA
2000 network will require its own power source. The NMEA 2000 network power input must have appropriate circuit
protection for the devices on the NMEA 2000 network.
NOTE:The termination band on the 10‑pin connector cable only applies to engine‑mounted modules.

b - NMEA connection light
c - CAN H connection light
d - Wi‑Fi connection light
e - Bluetooth® connection light
f - NMEA 2000® connector
g - 10‑pin connector

On‑Engine Mounting Guidelines
Mounting Requirements
NOTE:The 10‑pin on‑engine terminator must be removed from the engine harness before installation of the module.
• The SmartCraft CONNECT module must be mounted in a location that allows for connection to the 10‑pin connector on
the engine harness. No additional 10‑pin harnessing may be used in the installation of this product.
• All routing must adhere to harness installation bend parameter specifications. The minimum bend radius of any portion of
the harness must be no less than 13 mm (0.5 in.).
• Two cable ties to secure the SmartCraft CONNECT module must be used to prevent unwanted movement during normal
operation of the propulsion package.
•The following locations must be avoided when installing the SmartCraft CONNECT module.
• Any location which can be exposed to water
• Any location that is subject to high heat during operation of the power package
• Near ignition coils
• Near spark plug wires
• Near shift/throttle cables
• Where harnessing could contact belts
• Secured to fuel lines
25/30 FourStroke EFI On‑Engine Mounting
1. Locate the SmartCraft 10‑pin connector and remove the CAN termination resistor. Connect the 10‑pin connector on the
SmartCraft CONNECT harness. On‑engine modules are internally terminated, so the termination resistor is no longer
needed.
