Smartcraft fuel guage

Managed to buy one of these fuel guages cheap, do they just plug in or need mods to the loom? Can't seem to find much info from the usual sources.

Just need to plug it into the other gauges. But you do need the right boat harness that goes to the tank and engine. Also the Sender will need to be the right spec (US spec rather than european)

Gauges already in and wired up. LCD already shows fuel level and has been calibrated. This gauge just plugs in then as an aux display?

If your main gauges are already displaying fuel data then this will be plug and play.

The system link gauges just daisy chain off the smartcraft harness.
