    Mercury side mount control boxes are designed to be compact which makes 1st Mate integration very difficult.  We are working on a plug-in solution for this and hope to release it soon.

    Have you a plug and play solution yet.

    its been two years now.

    Hello Craig,

    A solution is in the product development plan. Unfortunately, we do not have a firm date or timeline for release.

    More information.

    I have already purchased the 1st mate Smartcraft single engine system. I do not have a 6 Pin ignition plug to connect the provided harness into.

I have smartCraft junction box With spare port. After research !!! (Mercury side mount control boxes are designed to be compact which makes 1st Mate integration very difficult.  We are working on a plug-in solution for this and hope to release it soon.) Please come up with a solution, even if it is to go to Mercury service agent to convert or manufacture a plug and play harness. This is so important to our boating community as most of us have Mercury Marine side mount control. I am willing even to purchase new control system to make this vitally important product work with the describer setup.
