When you buy a car you don't worry about whether the engine and electronics will work together, you buy it all from one manufacturer that engineered it to work together seamlessly.

And so it is with SmartCraft technology and Mercury engines. As with all of its products, Mercury spends thousands of hours testing to ensure that SmartCraft components will work together as an integrated system and can withstand the rigors of the most demanding environments. Redundant systems are built into SmartCraft software and hardware, and these back-ups minimize failure risk. Any new hardware or software has to undergo the same rigorous testing in order to be certified. And because only Mercury licenses and validates partners to be part of the SmartCraft network, you are assured that all components of the system will work together seamlessly.
With SmartCraft technology, you don't worry about performance; you just enjoy it.
