Just wondering if anyone has upgraded the analog gauges to Smart Craft? Got a beep when starting the port engine but of course have no idea what it means. My mechanic is recommending upgrading my tachometers with a smart craft tach that would also display engine/alarm info.

Just wondering if anyone else has made this upgrade? It sounds easy since the smart craft CPUs live right behind the Chart Plotter.

I don't like the idea of cutting in the whole Vessel View display. The only place this fits is not convenient for viewing IMO.

Sorry to take so long to reply.

I had my dealer install an SC1000 System display and a System monitor as part of the purchase of my 2008 H210SS. I have since installed a MercMonitor in place of the system monitor. There are several versions of the MercMonitor. I had to have the one with Smarttow. I had thought of a Vessel View but the dash is not quite big enough.

I have not had to use it to look at error codes (yet).

I don't know if I would spend the extra for the MM again. Lots of info but not user friendly. I love gadgets.
