Tin Man Posted February 19, 2017 Posted February 19, 2017 Vessel View Mobile. $275.00. Is this new tech worth it ? I love this idea. This is a module that plugs into any Mercury outboard from 40 hp. On up. It monitors several aspects of your engines performance and sends you feedback via a smartphone app. Does anyone use this. Seems like an awesome idea. 1 Quote
Ohio Archer Posted March 18, 2017 Posted March 18, 2017 Would like to know the same thing since the cost of the regular version and Smartcraft gauges are a bit steep. Quote
Super User BrianinMD Posted March 19, 2017 Super User Posted March 19, 2017 Just ordered mine last week. Everything I have read looks great, chatted with a few guys with it and they all love it. Gives you the information you need for a good price and its only a 10 minute install. No running wires, just remove terminator from Smartgauge plug, put terminator on one end of the VesselView Mobile wire and other end into the Smartgauge plug. Find a place to tuck the wires away and either zip tie or velcro the unit in place. Quote
Sporteus Posted August 4, 2018 Posted August 4, 2018 Anyone have the Vessel View module installed on a 40-60HP Mercury willing to share their experience? I saw one video of someone installing it on their Bass Tracker Heritage and I'm considering the same when mine gets delivered this month. But, I also was reading this chart that I believe is indicates limited functionality on the 40HP, which kind of makes sense to keep costs down. So I'm looking for actual experience with Vessel View Mobile on a smaller engine to know if its worth it. Thinking I can reuse an older phone (or buy a capable tablet) for GPS with Navionics Boating app and motor monitoring with Vessel View and then replace the RPM gauge in the dash with a stereo. Then eventually I can swap that setup for a Lowrance GPS/Sonar that will link to the Vessel View bluetooth module. Sounds like a good idea, but I may be getting wrapped up in gadget obsession. Quote
190 Tracker TX Posted August 4, 2018 Posted August 4, 2018 Posted a few weeks ago. Installed on my 115 OptiMax Pro and it works great! Click the link and you will see how easy it is to install and it will work on 40hp and up Smartcraft engines manufactured from 2003 and up. The pictures are: 1. My purchased product 2. Installation on my 115 OptiMax Pro 3. The information about my engine after the install taken from my IPhone. Quote
