The 1STM M 3 ENG KIT is a complete marine safety and control system kit designed specifically for single engine installations. It integrates seamlessly with Mercury engines to deliver enhanced security, wireless engine cut-off, and overboard alert functionality—bringing peace of mind and advanced protection to your time on the water.
Built with marine-grade components, the 1STM M 3 ENG KIT is made to withstand the harshest marine conditions, including salt spray, sun exposure, and temperature fluctuations. All connectors and wiring harnesses are designed to integrate cleanly with Mercury’s SmartCraft-enabled engines, ensuring compatibility and ease of use.
Installation is straightforward thanks to the plug-and-play harnesses and pre-configured connectors included in the kit. Once installed, the system can be managed and monitored via the 1stMate mobile app, offering real-time updates, engine lock functions, trip logging, and man-overboard alerts.
The captain’s wearable fob functions as a wireless kill switch while also storing custom security settings. Additional fobs can be configured for passengers and pets, ensuring the entire crew’s safety is managed and accounted for at all times.
Whether you’re cruising, fishing, or towing water sports, the 1STM M 3 ENG KIT offers an extra layer of protection and control, allowing you to enjoy your time on the water with confidence. It’s the ideal solution for safety-conscious boaters who want more than just basic engine security.

Theft Deterrent System
Theft Deterrent System (TDS) locks your engine(s) to prevent unauthorised use. Once you’re ready to get back behind the wheel, your engine(s) can easily be unlocked via the proximity of the captain’s wearable or by using the 1st Mate mobile app. Additional TDS functions are available on the 1st Mate Marine Safety and Security System for Mercury SmartCraft Engines.
Distress Message
If a boat captain (driver wearing the captain’s fob) falls overboard and can’t get back onboard, or passengers can’t return the boat to the captain, 1st Mate will send a distress message to your emergency contact(s). Distress message is sent after a countdown timer expires or a request for help is made. Message includes location, heading, date and time of the “man overboard” event.
