Solve Your MerCruiser and OMC Shift Interrupt Problems with a Smart Interrupt

If you’re a boat owner dealing with the frustration of shift interrupt problems on your MerCruiser or OMC engine, you’re not alone. Many marine enthusiasts encounter issues like engine stalling, difficult gear disengagement, and frequent wear and tear on shift cables. These problems often arise from the limitations of traditional factory interrupt switches. Fortunately, the patented Smart Interrupt technology offers a revolutionary solution, addressing these common challenges while providing enhanced reliability, accuracy, and longevity.

1. Engine Stalling During Shifting? Smart Interrupt Has You Covered

One of the most common issues with traditional MerCruiser and OMC shift interrupt switches is engine stalling during gear shifts. This problem typically occurs when the interrupt switch fails to precisely time the power interruption, leading to an abrupt engine stop. The Smart Interrupt is engineered to eliminate this issue entirely. By utilizing advanced sensor technology, it ensures accurate timing, preventing unnecessary engine stalls and ensuring smoother, more reliable shifting.

2. Struggling with Gear Disengagement? Improve Shifting Precision

Difficulties in gear disengagement are another frequent complaint among boat owners using factory-installed interrupt switches. Misalignment and wear in the lower shift cable can prevent interrupt activation, resulting in rough or incomplete shifting. The Smart Interrupt solves this by using high-tech cable position sensors to deliver precise interrupt timing, enhancing gear disengagement and making your shifts smoother and more responsive. This precision also reduces the stress on your shift cables, significantly prolonging their lifespan.

3. Tired of Frequent Maintenance? Increase Longevity and Durability

The harsh marine environment can quickly take a toll on traditional shift interrupt switches, leading to corrosion, mechanical failure, and frequent maintenance needs. Smart Interrupt is built to withstand these conditions. With military-grade components and corrosion-resistant materials, it offers superior durability, ensuring that your shift interrupt system remains reliable over time. By reducing the mechanical stress on your shift cables, Smart Interrupt further extends the life of your boat’s shifting system, saving you both time and money on repairs and replacements.

4. Need Reliable Performance in All Conditions? Trust Smart Interrupt

Whether you’re cruising in saltwater or freshwater, the Smart Interrupt provides consistent and dependable performance. Traditional switches often fail under extreme conditions, but the Smart Interrupt’s robust design ensures flawless operation no matter where you take your boat. This reliability is particularly important for boaters who need their engines to perform at their best in all situations.

5. Easy Installation with Backup Options

Installation of the Smart Interrupt is straightforward. Simply install the Smart Sensor, plug the USB connector into the control module, and you’re set. Additionally, for those who prefer extra security, the Smart Interrupt allows you to connect the factory interrupt switch in parallel, offering a backup redundancy system. You can also connect the two wires from the factory interrupt switch directly to the output of the control module, either as ‘normally open’ or ‘normally closed,’ depending on your setup preferences, including whether you have a HEI (High Energy Ignition) distributor or not. The system also offers customizable interrupt duration, allowing you to fine-tune the performance based on your engine’s specific needs.

Why Choose Smart Interrupt for Your MerCruiser or OMC?

By addressing the most common issues with traditional shift interrupt systems—such as stalling, gear disengagement problems, and premature wear—Smart Interrupt offers a more reliable, efficient, and long-lasting solution. It’s not just an upgrade; it’s a transformative enhancement that brings your boat’s performance into the modern age, much like how electronic ignition systems revolutionized automotive engines.
