I have a Nitro Z7, 2008 with a 2008 150 optimax. I think the speedo gauge is stupid due to inaccuracy anyways and I use the GPS on fishfinder to see speed. The boat has all analog gauges and I want one that displays digital water psi, engine temp, and RPM (the three I mainly want to watch). I was thinking about getting the SC1000 or the mercmonitor. I really do not plan on connecting fishfinder to the gauge for NMEA and do not see a true reason for this and want to keep my setup as simple as possible but still be able to attain this information. Has anyone replaced this larger gauge on their Nitro and put in one of the smartcraft gauges? If so, which one did you go with? And why did you go with this gauge over the other?
Thanks for replies in advance.
