    which smart craft ?

    installing new 09 225ProXS on `94 20 XD Bullet with standard gauges from that era. Ive been told that the standard SC1000 will do everything the MerMonitor will do except the different color lighting. But from what Ive been reading on the various threads here I not sure.
    a couple of specific questions ....everything was setup for Johnson stuff before
    #1 Will my in dash water pressure gauge (wet) still work with the new engine and will I need some sort of adapter if the Merc is digital signal? I would like to keep it for constant ability to see it when in another mode on Smartstuff.
    #2 Pretty much the same question for my in dash trim gauge ?
    #3 I see in some pics of the MerMonitor a setting showing GPS speed ?? Will I be able to hook my 332C low to obtain this feature ??
    I don`t mind paying a little extra for a gauge with more capability and the color of the lights don`t really matter.
    I`m sure I`ll think of something else as soon as I post this but for now this will help. I needing to order this Smart stuff soon since we`ll be doing the engine this next week or so !!

    Water pressure analog gauge- no problem.

    Trim- Johnson gauge not compatible w/Merc. Change gauge.

    GPS should work w/MercMonitor. As far as "which Smartcraft"... It's like comparing a "sundial" to an atomic clock. Both will tell you the needed info... But one requires a lot more work to get the info.

    Just keep in mind... the "sundial" is the System Monitor.

    The "Atomic Clock" is the "MercMonitor".

    Bezel is a real simple thing to solve.... several color bezels are available... and it's a "snap off- snap on" replacement.
