Smartcraft for Mercury 60 EFI

[DJL]

Does anyone know what parts I would need to rig up a Smartcraft tach to my engine?

Is it just a case of running the wiring loom from the engine to the console and plugging it into the tach. In which case which loom do I need - I can only find info about the A30 wiring harness

Thanks

Well it is just a case of running the loom from the engine to the tacho.....

However if it is anything like the 3cyl optis to wire in it is a pain in the arse. There are several smaller looms needed for things like power trim sender, temp etc. and it can all turn into a real nighmare.

Not sure which harness you need, at the moment, but can find out at work tomorrow.

Oh goody . I'm mainly interested in the tach and fuel consumption data; I guess temp would be handy too. Not to bothered about trim sender though, the analogue ones good enough for that.

If it's an EFI Smartcraft are not compatible, you need an Optimax as far as I know - been wrong before though!

Nope, you can get smartcraft with Verado, OptiMax,V6 EFI 2stroke and mid-range 4stroke EFI engines.

Ok. The harness you need to connect a Smartcraft Tacho with the buttons is:- 84-879982T20. This is for the Blue cambus harness and is 20ft long. If you need a longer one they do a 30ft harness part # 84-879982T30.
