SmartCraft Connect

SmartCraft Connect® for Raymarine®, Garmin® and Simrad NSX® Multifunction Displays

The Mercury SmartCraft Connect is designed for use with Raymarine®, Garmin® and Simrad NSX® Multifunction Displays (MFD's)

You can now display your Mercury/Mercruiser SmartCraft engine data on your Garmin®, Raymarine®, Simrad® NSX MFD, as well as the new electric Avatar outboard. You can do this alongside your GPS and sonar on one screen using SmartCraft Connect.

VesselView is a boat information center from Mercury Marine that displays engine data. You can display this data on certain Garmin, Raymarine, or Simrad NSX screens. This system offers a lot of useful information. So now you can get alerts and keep track of engine measurements that may stray away from the norm, right on your MFD. SmartCraft Connect simplifies tracking of rpm, fuel flow, speed, temperature, and trim and more on your chosen display. Is your engine SmartCraft Compatible?

This device enables you to DISPLAY information only on your Garmin®, RayMarine® or Simrad NSX® multi-function display.
