Smartcraft gauge questions

[ThomW]

I am looking to install a smartcraft gauge for my 2019 merc 150 4-stroke (serial # 2B602057) so that I can have access to all the cool information it provides on my motors functioning... I am thinking just the smartcraft RPM gauge...but I cannot seem to figure out what harness I will need to connect the gauge to my engine or what exactly I will need to hook the gauge up. I've seen several kits that include a gauge and harness, and each say they work for my year motor, but the harnesses included have different part numbers. I would love any insight into where i can get the information on what harness I actually need and/or any views on what a good--but not crazy expensive--smart gauge would be for my engine. Thanks!

try this for starters....it is in iboats...

this is what I installed...I did not install the speedometer....
additional sensors are needed to get all the data available, which I didn't install. I don't have: tilt, outside water or air temp, no gps, no oil temp, a few others I can't remember.....

So...when looking at these kits, I see that there is the gauge (tach), the tach harness, and also a CAN or data harness (the blue one). Do I need the tach harness if I am using the data harness?

it's been a while since you responded so I thought you were done.
So, I was going to take pics of my setup to show exactly what I have. I will try to do that.
There is a long blue cable from my engine to and under my console. I think there is a separate cable from that to my tach....but,I don't want to mislead...
I do remember it was not complicated to add to my then '05 merc 60hp....and the same cable was used for my new '21 115 hp merc....
The engine should have the connector, it really is plug and play....
also, I just use the original analog tilt/trim, fuel, and volt gauges....The smart tach does show voltage also.
