Your power package may be connected to a SmartCraft VesselView display. This display
provides a single, easy‑to‑use source for real‑time information about a variety of vessel
systems. The interactive VesselView display continuously monitors and reports information
about speed and performance, trim angle, water temperature and depth, and other
operating data. When VesselView detects a problem with any connected system, it displays
an alarm message to signal the problem to the boat operator.

Typical VesselView application
VesselView may also be connected to other vessel systems, such as GPS, generators,
and cabin environmental controls. This comprehensive vessel integration allows the
operator to monitor and control a wide range of vessel systems from a single, convenient
display.
Digital Gauges
A Mercury SmartCraft System instrument package can be purchased for this product. A
few of the functions the instrument package will display are engine RPM, coolant
temperature, oil pressure (requires a SmartCraft oil pressure sender kit), battery voltage,
fuel consumption, and engine operating hours.
SmartCraft digital gauges also feature troll control. This allows a vessel to maintain a
constant speed with an engine speed between 500 and 1200 RPM.
