Smartcraft connections

[PeterM]

So I have finally got round to getting the correct wires & box to acheive this. Looked simple - plug both ends in ( one to the plotter spare plug , the other the the Junction box spare plug. Flashing light on the 'new' box , but the extra options that are supposed to 'appear' ( according to the booklet) don't.

Any ideas from any Navman/ smartcraft gurus ?

I have tried a quick change of 'Navbus' options , but nothing doing........

Peter M - make sure you have the correct gateway - there are different models depending on which Navman unit you have.

Guys - Mercury have now made it possible to join the Smartcraft system up to all NMEA 2000 units - I am guessing that Biffs Cumins motors will have NMEA 2000 on them anyway and will therefore be compatible directly with units like the touch screen Garmins - the information available will depend on the engine manufacturers output, but should be really useful.

I think that they have sold Navman off, so there is no longer a reason to keep it exclusive to them!

Thanks Cookee . I'll have a chat with local mercury guy to get his opinions on Monday. I had assumed there was a 'standard' rather like NMEA etc ...

Smartcraft is a one off I'm afraid THIS is what you need to make Smartcraft work with NMEA 2000 stuff otherwise you're stuck with Navman
