    Smart craft install help needed

    Alright guys, don is busy this week so if anybody can help I would appreciate it. I just hooked up my merc monitor and it works great but now my other 2 gauges which are champion smart craft analog gauges but there is a small LCD panel on 1 freak out and the needles just shoot back and forth nonstop. The LCD panel says "startup failure-no starboard engine". I can't figure out how to fix. It has to be a sync problem.

    Sounds to me like you haven't programmed the monitor properly
    You have it configured for dual engines

    Im not sure which monitor you have but read your owners manual and reprogram it

    I just emailed you 2 PDF files
    They are the smart craft manuals I had
    I believe they will help you get through the set up program

    Good luck

    Dennis:

    Unfortunately, I made the decision that you wouldn't want me calling you at the hours I answer emails and posts yesterday.

    I did read through your emails- and provided you with explanations of what I perceive the problem to be.

    Response email sent... if you have further questions, let me know.

    I got your email. Thank you. I haven't looked at the manuels yet that 'aretheybiting' sent me, but from what I found last night - I should be able to get into the menu on those 2 champion gauges by pushing the 2 black buttons (m,T) on start up but I still can't get the menu to come up. I have the merc monitor definitely set on 1 eng. I will try again after reading the stuff he sent me and I'll call you if I am still struggling. Thank you
