Weekend update, pics, to come. I was able to install the VesselView, Merc mobile, bluetooth module on my 2016 v275, lesson learned, always use the terminator which came off the boat, not the one which came in the BOX! If you do, it'll just try and try to connect, never making it past 25% connecting...
Not bad, the app install on an ipad and iphone worked ok, minimal hassle, other than setting up an account. If you only want the basic information, you don't need an account.
My only complaint is that the connection dropped several times and had to reconnect, it did it automatically usually. I may try to mount the unit via high test velcro over the plastic cowl/cover vs on the electrical box under the cover. Unsure if this will help. For $260 it was worth it since I can see any errors or faults right from my phone.
Nonetheless, still great to see time to tuneup, last tuneup, hours, errors and faults, and GPS. WOT was 21.9 GPH on my 6.2l. Woof.
