I hope someone here has experience and is willing to share some wisdom about Mercmonitor displays with Eco screen.
I have a 2002 Mercruiser 496 Mag. The serial number is 0M332089 and the outdrive has a "Smartcraft" sticker on it. I have spoken to Mercury Marine and they were unable to tell me if this was a plug and play option or what engine info will be displayed. It seems unclear whether or not this will work for me. I'm trying to increase my efficiency and need fuel burn info to do it. I have investigated buying a Floscan and sensor and realized for a few bucks more, I could get lots more info and a simpler install.
I have read everything ever posted about Smartcraft and Mercmonitor but I haven't found any conclusive information that matches my situation.
I have no other electronics or GPS. I don't have the budget to re-invent my dash and buy all new gauges or big money big screen displays which require lots of sensors.
I understand that I need a blue cable and junction box. I think I might need a GPS antenna puck (to get mpg).
Does anyone know if this is possible?
Any help is greatly appreciated
