Mercury Vessel View

Has anyone installed one of these to their Mercury engine. I have no electronic gauges only a rev counter and trim and tilt. If you have, how easy was it to install and how well does it work with the blue tooth phone/tablet app. Thanks. Also anyone know of anywhere that stocks them in Ireland. Also does it plug into engine or throttle control

Yes, good bit of kit and helped diagnose a failing thermostat early. Also useful for speed, very easy to use with an Android phone

I love VV - obviously mine is on the main MFDs via Vessel View Link rather than mobile

be interested to know how you set this up on to a screen,

Have had one for a few years paired to my iPhone, works great was really useful when my MFD screen that had smart craft displays failed
