    Gauge readings through Lowrance HDS Live

    I tried to search for this thread with no luck.
    I am upgrading my electronics to Lowrance HDS-12 Live and was wondering if I could read my water pressure gauge, rpm's etc through my new Live unit from my 2005 225 Opti?
    I have the vessel view module but thought this would be more convenient than looking at my phone.
    If I can, how do I go about this?
    Thanks for any input!

    You'd need a vessel view Link module to take the smartcraft data and convert it to an NMEA2000 signal that the Lowrance could display. If you currently connect your vessel view mobile directly to the engine, you'd also then need a data cable and a junction box at the helm.
