curious as to what all has to be done to connect active trim 8m111546? The advertisement from Mercury is vague and says additional parts may be beceaaary.

Requires an active trim kit (and Smartcraft Network) to install. See Rhonda's Post (pinned at the top of the Forum) if you would like explore Smartrcraft and Active-Trim Options.

Does the smart craft network already exist or is this something additional, like the smart craft gauge set-up?Originally Posted by EuropeanAM
Given that your boat is a Tracker, odds are high that it does NOT exist yet.

Thanks. I’ll be researching. If I remember correctly, there’s different levels.
Looks like it already has the trim sensor, which I thought it wouldn't, as the kit comes with one.
The "kit" does not necessarily contain a trim sender. Not sure where you obtained that information, but these are some of the items considered when configuring and specifying the correct/needed components (one of the items you'll go over with Rhonda if you contact her).

From the installation instructions. Kit contains: 1 basic kit, 1 active trim harness, 1 digital to analog converter, 1 digital trim sender kit, 2 screws, 2 lock washers and 2 washers.
Mercury customer service says the system is stand alone, but requires a 14 pin smartcraft CAN harness (as you stated) with a junction box. Tracker customer service says they built my boat with a 14 pin smartcraft harness.
I'm going to have to open things up and take a look.
