Re: How to install a SMARTCRAFT system
Hi Bri.
Your four stroke comes standard with some smartcraft features;
--Engine speed (RPM)
--Engine GUARDIAN system
--Engine operating hours
--Fuel flow, fuel level, and fuel range
--Engine alarm source (switch)
--Troll control
--Battery voltage
--Engine diagnostics
--Engine temperature
--Engine alarm values (sensor readings)
--Engine trim
--Engine oil pressure
On the engine there should be a plug where you simply plug in the data harness. You will need the blue wire which has a terminator in both ends, this will plug into the 4 way smartcraft box, then you will have a harness from the box to each of your smartcrafts gauges (assuming you've gone for the RPM and Speed gauges and not the system monitor).
For trim to work you will need a digital trim sendor.
For speed to work you will need a digital pito sendor.
To have digital and analogue working together isn't ideal, although it shouldn't cause any problems.
I will get some diagrams and manuals uploaded when i have my Merc laptop in hand.
Hope that answers some of your initial questions.
