I've got one on mine. Will get a picture when it gets lighter outside.
Do u like it, is it worth getting
I would say it depends on how you want to use it. It does give you a lot of information, but if you're planning on using it while you're cruising around all the time you'll probably want to rig a mount for your phone so you can view it without having to hold it in your hand. It also disconnects from your phone every time you turn the motor off. Not difficult to reconnect but if you're just moving from one spot to another it seems like a hassle. Also, leaving bluetooth on your phone for hours will run your battery down pretty fast.
I would say if you just want the ability to check your fuel mpg, engine temp, etc. now and then as well as engine faults if they come up then it's good for that purpose. If you want to be monitoring those things all the time I think it would be better to just suck it up and spend the money on a mercmonitor gauge.
I’m picking up a new boat with a Mercury 150 hp 4 stroke and would like to get the vessel view mobile to monitor my new engine. If for some reason I start break in and have a couple hours on engine before vessel view is installed, will it recognize those previous hours that occurred before the installation of vessel view?
It did on mine. My motor is 5 years old and I installed the vessel view mobile last year. It shows the total number of hours on the motor. It must just read it off of the engine computer.
Good to know. I don’t know if I can buy it then install it before I start the break in process.
How do u get rpm, engine hours up, my phone only shows mph
Have you connected to it. You cannot view the data that you asked for until you connect to it via Bluetooth.Originally Posted by BD1
And you must purchase a Vessel View MOBILE setup to add to the engine, so that you can connect.

Installed & turned key on & connected, think the others pages will show once I run the motor, I only get 2 pages that show mph
Post number 14. With hat screen showing did you select “connect” you have to have the key in the run position and select connect. Another screen should show up in a few seconds. You the have to select your vessel view module and connect again. After that you should see more data. If you cannot see your module make sure that you have blue tooth enabled on your phone.
I have VVM and like it so far. One thing I noticed after the last update on my iPhone is that it lists more info available to read...oil pressure, water pressure and a few more.
What additional parts do i need to add to my 115 4S to be able to read these on my phone? I'm assuming I need an oil pressure sending unit as well as a water pressure sending unit.

Double check the Water Pressure... not supposed to be available.
Oil pressure SHOULD be a standard feature, depending on your engine's serial number. This would be a good topic to take up in a separate thread, for your engine.

Ok, will do. As soon as I get the time to verify the info and take a screen shot. Damn end-of-year OT has got me wearing down...
