I recently bought a 2008 Triton 21X2 with 250 Pro XS. It does not have a Smartcraft gauge. What do I need to get to have one installed that shows the basics - RPM, water temp, pressur, hours, etc? And, what is the approximate price?

You'll more than likely be interested in the System Monitor, as it is the "entry level" cost unit, and gives you the "most important" information you'll be wanting to know.
Due to Triton's continued use of an "aftermarket" ignition switch harness, I'll put you together a "plug and play" harness quote and IM it to you.

I recently added one to mine and plugged the cable on the motor and seems to work fine. What do you mean about the aftermarket ignition switch harness? I want to make sure I didnt miss anything. Thanks
If you plugged a "blue data cable" directly into the motor... this doesn't apply to you.
Essentially, 2006-> motor use a 14 pin ignition switch harness, that, as an OEM Mercury harness, already has the data harness built into it. The aftermarket ones are missing necessary plugs, requiring "modification" to plug directly into a junction block.
The Blue Data Cable completely bypasses the situation.
