    Vesselview on 4S 250 ProXS

    I have a 2020 ProXS 250, serial number 2B739267. I also have a MercMonitor level 0 I think. I would like to get and install Vessel View Mobile. First, where do I get it. Second, can I simply install it at the resistor cap in front of the engine? Thank you in advance!

    Can get the unit at dealer or any marine supply. Installs at the diagnostic plug. See YouTube videos. 5 min job.

    Don't use that plug if you still want to continue using your BASIC MercMonitor. Your installation will require a J-Box, and the VesselView Mobile.

    Drop our Parts department an email and they can set you up with what you need.

    Diagnostic plug is not the correct location for Vesselview Mobile install (won't physically plug into a diagnostic plug).

    And please be very careful about "Tube" videos. There are a few good ones, but there are also MANY that are riddled with COSTLY errors.

    Mine had erratic connection success when mounted like that.

    Per Don's advice I ran mine over the top of power head and along starboard side of engine and now have no problems with my Ifone app connecting.

    Thanks again Don.

    Guys... best thing to do is to check out Rhonda's post at the top of the Forum, and drop her an EMAIL. She can assist you with what you will need (and has a lot of ACCURATE information compiled to help you choose a system that suits YOUR needs and budget).

    And if you need install assistance with a kit purchased from her, I'm glad to get together with you to go over it.
