Advice Vesselview Link or NMEA 2000 Gateway combined with Simrad GO -Mercury Outboard

[MarkK]

First of all I would like to introduce myself! I'm already a big fan of BassBoat Central, since I'm on it every day. But today was the day to register myself. I life in The Netherlands and I don't have a muscle boat as most of you may have but it's a big ambition of mine for in the future


In a few weeks my new Grand G500 will be delivered but now I’m looking to get a multifunctional display. Since this is totally new for me I would appreciate to get your advice.


To make a long story short, I’ll have a Grand G500 with a new 115HP Mercury Pro.
Now I’m looking for a Simrad GO7 or GO5, so I’m able to to see the information from the Mercury. Also I would like to connect the Simrad SonicHub2 to it, for the music.


On Mercury I saw two devices:
- Vesselview Link
- Gateway NMEA 2000


Which one should I get to combine it with the Simrad?
I've already read so many about it, but I'm not getting much wiser.


My priority is to see the current speed, fuel, and rpm’s on the screen.

What Mercury Outboard do you have (specific ally, such as serial number)?

Have you already purchased a Graph? If not- hold off until you know the options...
