Mercury-Mercruiser 8M0091565 SmartCraft GPS 400 Antenna

8M0091565 SmartCraft GPS Antenna 400

Superseded from Mercury part # 8M0079126 (GPS Puck 300)

SmartCraft GPS Antenna (4.0.12SC) Used with SmartTow Pro SC1000 gauges, MercMonitors, and VesselViews 4 and 7. 

Sends CAN H and CAN P GPS data for use with GPS SmartTow and Joystick Piloting boats with Auto Pilot. Software 4.0.12SC

This GPS puck has been commonly used on Joystick Piloting systems. There have been changes to the hardware and software in each version but the look of the puck has been the same.

For joystick piloting systems, the puck is connected to a harness that wires it to the CAN‑H network. The GPS data is then used for most autopilot functions.

For non‑joystick applications, the puck can be used with a harness that wires it to the CAN‑P network through a junction box connector. The puck sends GPS data to the CAN‑P network which can be used on most SmartCraft gauges. It is also commonly used with gauges that have the SmartTow feature.

NOTE: This is not a NMEA 2000 puck and will not function if connected directly into a NMEA 2000 backbone.
