If a guy already owns the service manual for his outboard, does this manual add to the knowledge base available there?

Makes sense, but still seems like if a manufacturer (Merc in this case), is going to continue to manufacture and put in the market a device capable of connecting to a NEMA-0183 bus/devce, they should...
Agree w/ all that Don. Would be nice if Merc published what NEMA0183 Sentences the SC-1000 series can understand. Why put a “standard” input on your device and then leave it as a guess as to what...
I had SC-1000 Tach and Seedo (not Merc-Monitor), but was never able to get Depth info on it (MercMonitor may be different).
I believe I enabled:
RMB, RMC and that took care of Speed, Time,...
I think you can find a New Live 9 for around 1k right now...and possibly used for 700...
Too bad we all can't live near THE DON!
Interior of bilge and such is coated over the raw glass, right?
Need more info:
2D or SideScann transducer?
Do you want it to read on plane, or just while scanning...
My Reata has two 2D transducers: one is epoxied in the hull and shoots through it, reads...
His diagram indeed shows the J-Box and the SC network in the lower left corner, denoted by (i)...Assumption in the diagram is that there is a SmartCraft network on the other side of the J-Box, no?
The issue is the paper based cap washer/seal.
They don't leak until the foil seal is broken.
Like you, I try to premix the cocktail (QuickKleen and QuickStor/QuickKare) so its easy to just dump...
Yes, has the instructions w/ 90-8M0127924.
Yes, all the kit contents are present as you describe. Including the weather cap on the power connection to the VV Display, which will go unused in my...
I mentioned in Post #13 kit came with P/N 8M011670:
Has the classic female purple SC connector labeled J box on one end
Has a barrel connector to go to VVL labeled VVLink
Has a female...
Yes, have a J-Box at dash, mentioned that in post #13, that is where my SC-1000's are plugged now.
Realize I can keep them and the temp, but have no room at the helm to mount them after this mod,...
VVL ordered from Cabela’s (because I received a Bass Pro gift card from work), and Their guys are not super experienced with this stuff…I can call again, but didn’t get much love the first time.
...
Ok, another question has arisen on my quest to replace the SC1000 System Tach and Speedo w/ VVL and an Lowrance.
Admittedly, I am not at my boat right now, as it is in winter storage, but I am...
Units take the latest update file that is in the ​root​ directory/folder of the card when inserted.
I have a copy of every update ever published for my units in a folder on my micro SD card that...
I would also suggest strongly that you connect all these units w/ NEMA2K so you get waypoint and heading info sharing. And, you probably do not have the data source for Depth set correctly such that...
Thats the path I am trying to go down...8 years on my Interstate 31M-AGM...replacing this spring...the what is the question...but I am centering on the Sams Duracell/East Penn/Deka AGM's for $212
Could also be a bad bad switch.. Connection good enough to transmit battery voltage under no load, but when loaded, too much Resistance in the switch and motors won't run.
If you pull the leads off...
Thanks for pointing these out. Seems like the 125Ahr Group 31 Size is around $265. May be worth the small upgrade price from Sam’s Club. Only issue I see is Support/Dealer Network. Think these...
Yes, it seems to be a good option.
I have done some research, seems the more expesive AGM's (Odyssey, Interstate, X2-Power) use pure lead technology.
The Deka/EastPenn/Duracell seem to use Lead...
Interesting, I have the X2Power for my Cranking/House battery and it has been great for 5 seasons now.
Don’t forget to factor in battery cost to your equation..Gotta have 2 batts and dual charger now. That said, I run an Ulterra 80 on my 18’9” Ranger and it’s all the power I need. You will be happy...
Realize this is probably going to start a Ford/Chevy, Merc/Yamaha debate…but it’s time for me to replace my Trolling Motor Batteries.
Ranger built my boat in August 2015, with Interstate 31M-AGM...
Perfect, just put the latest Firmware on both and rock on?
