In my case when I ordered the boat with the chart plotter it deleted the gauge which shows oil pressure and engine temp. (Attached is a picture I pulled off the internet of a similiar dash) As you can see there isn't a heck of a lot of engine information available. I didn't realize at the time that I would be losing that info when ordering the charplotter. I see in the new boats they are offering a "digital dash" option for the boat for around 2800. It is a 1800 up charge from the standard chart plotter but it's also linked to Smartcraft. For 149.00 the Vessel View Mobile might be another solution for some, like me, to get the same info for a lot less.Perhaps not; anyone else also making the assumption that: a) all the info available via VesselView appears ANYwhere on a SPX dash; OR, b) one can’t pull up info about the engine from anywhere (using the app only when on the boat is in reality limiting its ability).
It’s not for everyone fer sure (but, I made sure I got complete info before I made the decision to get it)!
Happy trails!
