Mercury Harness Assembly, Key Switch, 20 Ft w/ Warning Horn (816626A20 / 84-816626A20)
The Mercury 816626A20 Harness Assembly is a complete engine-to-helm rigging harness that includes a key switch and a warning horn, making it a convenient all-in-one solution for replacing or upgrading older ignition/harness setups. With a 20-foot length, it provides the reach needed for many common boat layouts while keeping the installation clean and OEM-correct.
This assembly is commonly listed as fitting a wide range of Mercury and Mariner outboards (including many 2-stroke and 4-stroke applications), plus select Force outboards and Mercury Jet Drives. It’s a solid choice when you want one part that covers the harness run, ignition switch, and the audible warning horn connection in a single kit.

Service Notes
- Fitment depends on your engine family, year, and harness/connector style. Match your existing harness part number or verify by engine serial/model before ordering.
- If your engine requires an adapter harness (commonly 892473A01 for certain MY2005+ 8/9.9 hp four-strokes), plan to source that separately.
- Route the harness away from sharp edges, pinch points, and heat sources; secure it with proper clamps/ties to prevent chafe.
