If the boat has one or two SmartCraft capable
Mercury petrol/gasoline engines, connect the
TRACKFISH to the SmartCraft engines with
an optional SmartCraft gateway. The display
unit can display engine data and trim and can
control troll speed.
Note:
Fit a single gateway for single engines and
a dual gateway for dual engines.
SmartCraft engines have fuel flow sensors,
therefore Navman fuel sensors are not
required as well.
An optional GPS/fuel Y cable is required.
If the fuel tank does not have SmartCraft
level sensors, wire for auto power (see
section 18-4).

NavBus is Navman’s system for connecting
instruments together to interchage data and
share transducers. When instruments are
connected by NavBus:
If the units, alarms or calibration are
changed in one instrument, then the values
will automatically change in all other
instruments of the same type.
Each instrument can be assigned to a group
of instruments. If the backlight is changed
in an instrument in group 1, 2, 3 or 4 then
the backlight will automatically change in
the other instruments in the same group.
If the backlight is changed in an instrument
in group 0 then no other instruments are
affected.
If an alarm sounds, mute it by clearing the
alarm on any instrument which can display
that alarm.
