Merc Monitor Level 1

About to put one on my 225 Pro XS equiped XB-2003. What all does it, I do know it shows rpms, trim, GPH and speed but what else doe sit do? What do I need to link it to my Helix 9 Gen1?

PSI, keeps peak speed and rpm's, mine came with a temp sensor to read ambient temperatures (I have it tied up under the dash), also really neat feature eco-something...I forget what it's called, that directs you to proper trim and RPM's to achieve best MPG and I forget what all else.

If I rmemeber right it's connected to my NMEA backbone which enable me to see all sorts of engine data on my Lowrance. Not sure how HUmminbird works

Yep, I have it now came in yesterday and it looks pretty intimidating to say the least.

[Tim Powell]

Its pretty straightforward. But can look intimidating with all of the plugs coming off the harness.

It will tie into the nmea network to display gps info to allow xx.xx speed at xxxx rpm.

Tim, I think I have the wrong harness that goes from the outboard to the gauge. I am talking about the long blue one. Part number 84-8M0055042. The plug that runs up to the gauge is a female. The plug in the harness that plugs into the gauge is a female. I need one of those to be a male. I don’t have your number or I would call ya with pictures. I would add pictures here but I don’t know how.


Update: I have been searching online and I found a thread on a BassCat page where the guy had what he called a gender blender male to male adapter cable. Anyone have a part number for this? Otherwise looks like I need a junction box.

HA, figured it out I need a male to male connector.

Or at least I am pretty sure this is what I need.

[Tim Powell]

Exactly what you need. I have 2 on order for you and a Thomas.

Thanks Tim.
