    2000 Mercury Optimax 225, what are the choices on SmartCraft Gauges

    Here is my serial number OT161763
    its on a 2000 Ranger 520 SVX
    It has a re-man power head and wondering what are my choices on the smart craft system or should I plug it into my Nema 2000 back bone
    what's all involved is it a plug and play ?
    I have gen-3 12's with NEMA and Ethernet
    wanting to track hours, water temps, Water Pressure, and what ever else should be monitored
    first time owner a bigger rig and motor
    motor has 2 hours on it and wanting to again track and log data
    Thanks
    pricing as well

    I have a 2015 Z119C with a 225 Pro XS, switched out my gauges with SmartCraft 1000 series..think it set me back about $800 if I remember correctly....
