how to install a digital trim sender to a Mercury 4 stroke 115 HP engine?

[steven115]

I bought a Bayliner fishing boat last year, it came with a 4 stroke Mercury 115 HP engine, I installed a Vessel View system recently, I can see many data from the Lowrance LCD, but the there is no trim data, no water presure data, no water speed data, and no fuel level data, so I want to install all these 4 sensors, I checked and find 3 spare connectors, one 3 pins, one 4 pins and one 6 pins, but I can not figure out what to buy, anyone can help me? thanks!

Not an OB guy, but will mention what I have found and maybe another can fill in the blanks/omissions

Smartcraft works off a CAN buss and most components are connected to it. Once connected, those items are programmed/recognized into the system.

Speed needs a wheel installed at the transom and connected to the buss
Water pressure in most cases is down by a 3 prog connector like the one you found
Fuel and Trim, data requires a digital sender installed and connected to the CAN buss

Do think the water pressure sender should be 8M6000623, with a serial number I could verify

There should be a manual for Vessel View.
Or Lowrance might have something.
Then theres you tube,Google search.

thanks for all, I find a SC conversion kit, part number is 889250K01, I will buy one and see if I can fit it in my boat.

thanks, I read it. I bought an analog to digital conversion kit, it include a digital trim sender, a paddle wheel, a speed sensor , an oil level sensor and some cables. now I have a new problem, I read the mannual and know how to use this kit, but there is a 8 pin connector on the smartcraft cable (see the first 2 pictures), but I can not find a 8 pin connector on the engine cable, so I don't know where to connect it, do I need to buy other parts to make this kit work?
