Mercury VesselView Comparison Chart & Buying Guide

Compare the complete VesselView multi-function display (MFD) offerings here to decide which is best for your Mercury/Mercruiser application.

Please keep in mind: VesselView works with SmartCraft enabled engines only. All VesselView displays have Smart Tow, Active Trim, and Troll Control interfaces.

VesselView is a multifunction display (MFD) that is compatible with products manufactured by Mercury Marine Outboards, MerCruiser and Mercury Diesel. In addition, the VesselView software can be installed on compatible display devices from Lowrance® and Simrad®. 

VesselView is a comprehensive boat information center that can display information for up to 4 gas or diesel engines. It continuously monitors and reports operating data including detailed information such as water temperature and depth, trim status, boat speed and steering angle, and the status of fuel, oil, water, and waste tanks. VesselView can be fully integrated with a vessel’s global positioning system (GPS) or other NMEA‑compatible devices to provide up‑to‑the‑minute navigation, speed, and fuel‑to‑destination information.

VesselView is also a display extension for autopilot and joystick operations. All functionality of these piloting features are controlled through Mercury Marine's autopilot control area network (CAN) pad. VesselView will show if a mode of control is active or in standby; pop‑ups will appear as the vessel arrives at waypoints, prompting response to turns. Additional display text can be used to adjust the engines and drives to achieve maximum efficiency. 

VesselView is equipped with a micro SD card port that allows the import or export of the vessel personality configuration. It can also be used by the owner to upgrade to the latest software version. When more than one VesselView is used, either as a triple‑engine or quad‑engine application, or a second helm, the same micro SD card can be used to download those configurations to each unit.

VesselView continues to evolve as the next generation full color displays with an enhanced full sunlight viewable vessel information center encompassing data from the vessel, navigation and engines. There are numerous NMEA 2000 input options in addition to the fully integrated Mercury Marine SmartCraft digital information and control features. Regardless of the application, we have a display solution available: VesselView4, VesselView502, VesselView 703, VesselView 903, VesselView Link or VesselView Mobile (no longer available, see the SmartCraft Connect mobile).
