    Digital gauges

    I'm looking at purchasing a boat with a 2018 Yamaha 225 SHO. Right now there are analog gauges but I'd like to install the Yamaha equivalent to the Mercury SmartCraft gauges if such a thing is available. Speedometer isn't really that important but tach, water pressure or temperature (not sure which is more important on these engines, never owned one) and maybe fuel use would be nice. What do I need for this kind of set up? What would you all recommend for a digital gauge set up?

    Not familiar with Mercury SmartCraft gauges but Yamaha offer digital gauges known as Command Link. You can also have the engine connected to an NMEA 2000 chart plotter and get engine data on it.
