Description
Shift Reliably and Extend Shift Cable Life with the Smart Interrupt!
The Smart Interrupt is a patented solution designed to enhance gear shifting reliability and prolong shift cable lifespan for boat owners. It effectively addresses common issues like difficulties disengaging gears or persistent stalling, ensuring seamless shifting with its advanced sensor technology. Key features comprise precise interrupt timing, additional safety with redundant system capability when paired with your OEM interrupt switch, effortless installation, customizable duration, military-grade reliability, and compatibility with a wide range of boat models. Additionally, it eliminates tension on the lower shift cable, thereby improving its longevity compared to the OEM interrupt.
Key Features of the Smart Interrupt:
- Enhanced Performance: The Smart Interrupt utilizes a high-tech sensor that accurately determines the position of your shift cable, ensuring precise interrupt timing.
- Redundant System Capability: For added safety and peace of mind, the Smart Interrupt can be used in conjunction with the factory interrupt switch.
- Quick and Easy Installation: Installing the Smart Interrupt is a breeze. With its user-friendly design, you’ll have it up and running in no time.
- Adjustable Duration: Whether you have a high RPM idle or a low RPM idle, you can fine-tune the interrupt duration to suit your specific requirements.
- Military-Grade Reliability: The Smart Interrupt is built to last, thanks to its precision electronic circuitry crafted with military-grade components.
- Wide Compatibility: Whether you have an OMC or Mercruiser, we have a kit for you!
- Longevity: The OEM Interrupt relied on tension to be applied to the lower shift cable. With this electronic conversion, there is no longer any tension, and your cable will last longer.
Shipping Information:
Shipping is available to the lower 48 United States only. For shipping outside this region, please contact us for further assistance.
Applications and Installation:
The Smart Interrupt is suitable for any marine inboard engine. The key to a successful installation lies in mounting the USB sensor correctly. Ensure the USB Smart sensor is mounted parallel to the shift cable linkage for synchronized movement.
Installation is made easy with clear instructions provided. The control module features three pins for either “Normally Open” or “Normally Closed” interrupt methods. You can wire it in parallel with the existing interrupt switch, either grounding the coil for interruption (Normally Open) or disconnecting power to the coil (Normally Closed).
For detailed installation guidance, you can refer to resources available online.
Choose the Smart Interrupt and enhance control over your boat’s gear shifting. Don’t let shifting troubles hinder your boating adventures. Order your Smart Interrupt today and unlock a new level of convenience and reliability on the water!
*The Mercruiser and OMC shift plates, shown in the example install pics, are not included.

I’ve been boating for decades and a couple of my boats were plagued with shifting problems, and stalling. This product is great! I’m surprised no one came up with this sooner!
Sarah K. –
I was skeptical at first, but after struggling with unreliable OEM interrupts, I decided to give the Smart Interrupt a try. And boy, am I glad I did! The difference is like night and day. Shifting is smoother and more precise, and I love the peace of mind knowing I have a redundant system in place for added safety. Installation was a breeze, and the wide compatibility meant it worked seamlessly with my marine engine. Definitely worth the investment.
James L. –
Absolutely game-changing! Installed the Smart Interrupt on my boat and instantly noticed a significant improvement in shifting reliability. No more frustrating moments of being stuck in gear or having to restart the engine. Installation was straightforward, and the adjustable duration feature is a real game-changer. Highly recommend!
Emily S. –
I can’t praise the Smart Interrupt enough! It’s like having a personal assistant for my boat’s shifting. The adjustable duration feature is fantastic, allowing me to tailor it to my specific needs ( I have a very low idle). Installation was a breeze, thanks to the clear instructions provided. If you want to increase performance get the Smart Interrupt!
Mike D. –
As someone who spends a lot of time out on the water, reliability is crucial. The Smart Interrupt delivers on its promise of uninterrupted performance. No more worrying about stalling or unpredictable shifting. The quality gives me confidence that it’ll hold up over time. The only reason I didn’t give it five stars is because the handling time for shipping was a bit longer than expected. But overall, very satisfied with my purchase.
Tyler B. –
Installing the Smart Interrupt was a no-brainer for me. I was tired of dealing with the headache of unreliable shifting and stalling on my boat. But what I didn’t expect was the significant improvement in performance. It’s like my boat got a new lease on life! Shifting feels smoother, and I have much more confidence maneuvering in tight spaces. The military-grade reliability gives me peace of mind that it’ll hold up over time. If you’re on the fence, just go for it. You won’t regret it.

Purchased original unit which lasted about 4 years until I broke it by accident .
I recommend this unit for everyone.

After struggling with shifting issues on my boat for far too long, I decided to invest in the Smart Interrupt. And let me tell you, it’s been a game-changer! No more hesitations or stalls when shifting gears. The redundant system capability gives me added peace of mind, especially when maneuvering in tight spaces. The only reason I didn’t give it five stars is because I wish it was available for international shipping. Nonetheless, highly recommend for anyone looking to enhance their boating experience.
Mark R. –
I’ll admit, I was skeptical about how much of a difference the Smart Interrupt would make. But after installing it on my boat, I’m a believer! Not only did it solve the shifting problems I was experiencing, but it also provided a noticeable improvement in performance. Docking has never been easier, and I feel like I have better control over my boat in all conditions.
Greg T. –
I bought the Smart Interrupt to address the annoying shifting problems I was having with my boat. Little did I know, it would completely transform my boating experience! Not only did it solve the stalling issues, but the enhanced performance is remarkable. Shifting feels smoother and more responsive than ever before. It’s like my boat got a performance upgrade overnight. Installation was straightforward, and the results speak for themselves. Highly recommend to any boat owner looking to take their ride to the next level!
Brian S. –
I purchased the Smart Interrupt hoping to solve the shifting issues that were plaguing my boating trips. What I got in return was so much more. Not only did it eliminate the stalling and hesitation, but it also made my boat feel like a whole new machine. The enhanced performance is truly remarkable. Smooth, precise shifting every time, even at high RPMs. It’s like I upgraded to a luxury model without breaking the bank. If you’re tired of dealing with unreliable shifts, do yourself a favor and invest in the Smart Interrupt. You won’t be disappointed.

I’ve been battling with shifting issues on my boat for months, and it was really putting a damper on my time out on the water. Decided to give the Smart Interrupt a shot, and I’m glad I did! Not only did it eliminate the stalling and unpredictable shifting, but it also gave me a noticeable improvement in performance. I feel like I have better control over my boat now, especially in tricky docking situations. The adjustable duration feature is a nice touch too. Overall, a solid investment for anyone looking to upgrade their boating experience.

Installing the Smart Interrupt was simple on my Alpha 1. The sensor mount was easy to use, smoother shifting and improved performance made it worthwhile.
Nathan B. –
Thanks to the Smart Interrupt, shifting is now effortless. The sensor mount was slick! The performance improvement was immediate. Highly recommended!
Javier L. –
Get rid of the switch and install one of these. After I did this. No more trouble with stupid switch.
Ryan C. –
The Smart Interrupt transformed my Sea Ray W/Alpha Drive. Shifting is now seamless and the installation was surprisingly easy thanks to the slick sensor mount. The control module’s transom mount could be improved, but once secured, the performance boost was undeniable.”
Eric W. –
Installing the Smart Interrupt on my ’89 Sea Ray Alpha 1 was straightforward. The sensor mount was easy to position and once set up, shifting became smooth and reliable. Tip: zip tie the USB cable to the power wire for added security. I think the instruction did mention that, not sure.
Jed C. –
I thought I needed this to Install my new HEI distributor, but apparently I didn’t. I still used it along with my factory interrupt as a backup for safety. I am super satisfied with this device! I’ve had a couple of boats and I’ll tell you what, shifting is far more responsive! 5 stars all the way!
