Installation Information

WARNING

Disconnect both battery cables at battery before attempting to install gauges Before cutting any holes, check area behind dashboard for obstructions (braces, cables, wiring, etc.). CUTTING TIPS Fiberglass apply masking tape to area to be cut to prevent dashboard from cracking. Vinyl Covered Remove vinyl from area to be cut with razor blade to keep vinyl from tearing.

Gauge Installation

1. Select a location for the gauges that affords good visibility and accessibility from behind dashboard. 2. Drill a 3-3/8 in. (86mm) mounting hole using a hole saw.

3-3/8 in. (86mm)

3. Place gauge into dashboard and secure with retainer nut.

Connecting GPS Unit to the SmartCraft System Speedometer
NOTE: The GPS unit must comply to the National Marine Electronic Association NMEA 0183 Interface Standard v1.5, v2.0 or later compatible version.
1. First, look at the GPS wiring diagram and determine what two leads are the GPS output leads. Locate the White and Blue wires coming from the SmartCraft speedometer harness (see wiring diagram). Connect the GPS output leads to the white and blue wires from the speedometer harness. If no data is received, switch the wire connections around. If no data is still received, refer the GPS owners manual and see if the GPS has to be calibrated to turn on the output signal or needs to be grounded differently. 2. If you want the GPS to automatically set the time, edit the time calibration on the speedometer to enable NMEA.

INFORMATION AT THE HELM.

And when you are boating, power is a good thing. SmartCraft Integrated Marine Technology is the most complete boat information system ever created, and the most powerful. Access to information allows you to better understand everything that is going on in, and around, the boat. The SmartCraft system provides up-to-the-second information about the boats running status, including engine diagnostics, rpm, fuel flow and fuel management, critical temperature readings, speed, and engine trim. The more you know about your boats performance, the better equipped you are to make good decisions that affect the comfort and safety of you and your passengers.

DIGITAL CONTROL

Less Work, More Boating
The SmartCraft Digital Throttle & Shift (DTS) System was designed to bring digital precision to engine throttle and shift. By offering unmatched, smooth shifting and lightning-fast throttle response, the DTS System provides effortless control, as well as proven and reliable performance every time. Once you try a Mercury DTS System, you wont want to use anything else. Better Performance You now have more direct and precise control over engine performance under ALL boating conditions and across the entire rpm range. Maintenance Free Helm Better Control All DTS System Components are integrated to give you effortless control and coordination over engine and transmission functions. Helm Transfer Mercurys digital controls allow you to transfer control of the vessel between helms with the push of a button. Shadow Mode SmartCraft technology allows you to control the throttle and shift of triple and quad engines with two levers. Auto Synchronizer Eliminates the need to manage independent engine rpms. Safety Rigorously tested and retested, DTS has proven itself to be the most reliable and durable system available on the market.
