    NMEA2000 and Smart-Craft

    Thanks for the ideas. No difference on starting either engine first. I will try calling the hotline. Here is the schematic from my searay manual. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

    Mercruiser running too hot

    Sea strainers are the filters that must be regularly cleaned to allow water to flow to keep your engine cool. You should see it in your bilge. First find the valve (sea cock) on the hull. Be sure the handle is in the off position (perpendicular to the valve). Then the next device after the...

    NMEA2000 and Smart-Craft

    I don't have engine sync, so the engine harnesses are not connected other than both going to the same 4 port JBox. So I need to figure out where this fictional rudder is being created. I know it is being output by the MM because I can view the N2K sentences in real time on my computer. Any ideas...

    NMEA2000 and Smart-Craft

    Thanks for the idea. I tried changing offset on the vessel view (SC5000). It had no effect on the N2K output from the MM. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

    NMEA2000 and Smart-Craft

    Easy install. I just added it to the CS network. I needed to add a 4 port connector box because my old configuration did not have a port available. Very easy to do. The connector boxes just "daisy chain" on to the next, with the last one having a terminator plugged in. There are many examples of...

    NMEA2000 and Smart-Craft

    I have V6.01. I have played with the Ext Sensors steering on and off. I get the same result either way - 2 instances of Rudder. I have discovered that the second (wrong) instance is reading a constant number that is equal to the offset I enter on the MM to zero the output on the N2K instruments...

    NMEA2000 and Smart-Craft

    I bought mine from www.veradoclubparts.com. They have the Level 3 MercMonitor for $899.95. This single unit will handle passing the data from both engines to the N2K bus. It will only display data from one of your 2 engines at a time. The Eco stuff is not much use for inboards (no trim), but...

    NMEA2000 and Smart-Craft

    Thanks for the input. My boat does not have an autopilot (yet). There is only one sensor for the rudders, and it is mounted on the starboard control arm in the aft bilge. It connects to a smartcraft harness on the starboard engine along with the depth transducer and starboard fuel level sensor...

    MercMonitor rudder data to NMEA2000

    I have twin 8.1 mercuisers. 2005 searay 390my. Added MercMonitor to get data from smartcraft to raymarine MFDs. MercMonitor is putting 2 instances of rudder data on the NMEA2000 network (verified on pc using USB-nmea2000 monitor). First instance is a constant 27 degrees starboard. Second is the...

    NMEA2000 and Smart-Craft

    Henry, I have a 2005 searay 390MY (new to me) - twin 8.1 mercuisers. Full smartcraft system with engine data, depth, rudder, tanks, ... I have added a MercMonitor to bridge to NMEA2000 MFDs and instruments (raymarine e7d, c125, i70). Most works great, but I am getting 2 instances of rudder...
