My boat/motor are both 2006's and was configured with analog gauges at the helm. Last summer my tach crapped out on me, and my speedo is intermittent. So now this is a great excuse for an upgrade and I would like to switch over to Smartcraft.
I’ve done some research and have determined that my boat was pre-rigged with the 14-pin harness that runs from the motor to the helm and that its carrying the Smartcraft data. At the helm I have what appears to be Procraft’s homebrew (but factory) answer to an analog harness that connects to the 14-pin cannon-plug (I have disconnected this factory harness and will try to upload a picture of it)
My goal is to find a short harness (3’-6’) that will connect to my 14-pin plug that will allow me to retain my ignition/kill switch/throttle/trim but allow the connection of a Smartcraft junction box so that I can add whatever Smartcraft gauges that I decide to buy.
The less preferred method would be to dissect the factory harness and add the necessary Smartcraft CAN, 10-pin, and terminators to it. But I can see this way being a huge pain in the arse…
Have any of you fellow Procrafters dealt with this factory harness before and upgraded to Smartcraft?
