I would have no way of knowing if my sending unit is "calibrated between 33 and 240 ohm", nor do I know the manufacturer of it. Given that it was recently replaced by a local dealer, I'll just call them and hopefully get some info. I was hoping I could just connect the wires on the sensor to...

I've ordered the gateway from Fox Marine, which will allow me to get all the engine data that I need. I'm also looking into a trim sensor with Yacht D.com, utilizing the existing wires. We'll see... I have a Lowrance Fluid Level Sensor, Fuel Pack-0, that I want to use for replacing my analog...

"2 MFD as large as I could fit." That is my eventual goal. The analog gauges are a thing of the past...

Just an update from Korolev: When I asked: "How will it be presented in the Simrad?" He said: "Standard Engine Page. Engine Data Only." I asked: "Similar to how the Mercury Smart Craft is found?". He said: "Negative. Deep SmartCraft integration [via dedicated OG SmartCraft gateway and...

Iggy, Your referral to www.Yachtd.com may turn out to be fruitful. I've contacted them, and Korolev, a support engineer, has recommended a Fox Marine PCM555 gateway, after informing me that my Mercury ECM is: "an old Motorola PCM555 controller variant." Geez!!! So...it looks like I'll be...

Iggy, Thanks for following up! I sent an email to them, describing the set-up. One would think that if an engine has a port that is read by a diagnostic computer, such as the Mercury G3, then data must be available, if the proper device exists. I just want to be able to read this data on my...

Hello, all, Back again with the Simrad saga... It's all connected and running. However, my goal of being able to utilize the Mercury Smart Craft functions just didn't pan out. After having the Smart Craft recommended to me from the customer support folks in Fond du Lac, I found that many of the...

Hi, Iggy, I did get a local shop to help me get everything put in place: Simrad, transducer, Mercury Smart Craft on the NMEA 2K network. All is well, except that the Simrad doesn't seem to recognize the Smart Craft in order to see the functions that I'd like. I will probably take it back to the...

The last owner probably threw out the original carpet, out of frustration. The bottom material disintegrates into small black particles that end up all over the place, looking like someone went nuts with pepper mill! :confused:

If by 'cover' you mean a tonneau style for keep dust out, or trailering, you'll probably have to find a local custom boat interior shop that uses a high quality fabric such as Sunbrella. I would make sure that they provide snaps to fit the poles that will help hold up the middle of the cover to...

I used SnapinCarpet.com (AKA Custom Marine Carpet LLC) for a custom fit carpet. They can help you with the templates for proper fit, and a kit for placing the snaps where you want them (you'll need to do that yourself unless you can find a local place that will do that part for you). They also...

I'm looking for the ideal transom location to place the transducer for the Sinrad/Lowrance sonar. I've seen several videos that provide an understanding of the critical concepts, but none of them are specific to hull of the 2004 Sunesta. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in...

I really like the idea of a separate buss bar. It could make things a lot more accessible. (y)(y)

Indeed, there was. 👍 The unit just won’t turn on. 😐

That’s exactly what I did. 😎

I tried so many ways to get the unit started, pressing and releasing slowly, pressing quickly, etc., but no luck. In hindsight, using the bus bar probably would have been easier, but it is a real pain to access, being so far behind everything. :-( I'm looking forward to getting this thing...

OK, my Simrad saga continues... I used the windshield wiper switch to supply power to the Simrad; now, I can switch it on from there, independently. I verified that there is power at the back of the unit, but it won't turn on! Is there a certain trick to starting this up, or is my unit...

Wow, that's awesome!!! Someday, I'll get a fabricator to do something that would be more fully integrated into my helm, but that's for another day...

Thanks, J Kyle, That's very helpful! :)

Hi, everyone, Does anyone have access to a simple video that demonstrates how to replace the starboard trim cylinder, including bleeding the hydraulic lines? I googled this, and all that I've seen are videos for Alphas, etc. I know this is pretty simple, I just want to make sure to cover all...
