GENERAL INFORMATION
Basic Operation and Features
IMPORTANT: MercMonitor can be assimilated into many different power
package configurations; from a single engine low horsepower outboard motor,
to a multiengine multistation digital throttle and shift vessel. There may be
some gauge features, displays, operations, and warnings that will not be
applicable for your power package. Some screens can be turned on, but will
not show any changes to the display. See your selling dealer for an explanation
of what information your power package can display.
Power up: After the ignition is turned on, the splash screen will display the
name of the gauge, the level of the gauge, the image, and the version of the
software for approximately two seconds.
NOTE: The contents of the splash screen will change based on the level of
gauge purchased.
Example of a level 3 gauge
a - Name of gauge
b - Level of gauge
c - Image
d - Version of software
Lights: Adjusts the brightness and contrast of the gauge.
Buttons: The "MODE" button is used for selecting information screens. The "+"
and "–" buttons are used for setting engine speed for cruise control, launch
control, and setting gauge calibrations. To return to the previous screen, hold
the "MODE" button down for three to five seconds.
Cruise control: Sets and controls the speed of the engine for cruising.
Launch control: Controls the speed of acceleration from idle to cruise speed.

engine speed and alerting the operator to a potentially damaging situation.
Warning system: The system sounds the warning horn and displays the
warning "AL" in the right corner of the "Main Menu" screen. The alarm screen
will pop up with the "AL" in the upper right side of the screen and an alarm
information in the middle of the screen. For alarms with descriptive text, press
the "+" button for more information.
IMPORTANT: Optional sensors such as depth, fuel, paddle wheel, and steering
angle, should always be connected to the starboard engine when using
SmartCraft gauges version 4.0 or later.
SYSTEM CHECK
• The system check screen will appear after the splash screen. This option
must be enabled to view it. Depending on the installed power package,
the system check screen will display the overall condition of the battery
and a few other sensor conditions that are important for that power
package. The component description will be displayed on the left side of
the monitor, its corresponding icon will be off‑center right, an icon in
motion to the right will indicate what is being checked. When the
component checks good, the icon in motion will change to "OK." If the
system check identifies a problem, the icon in motion will change to a
warning icon. You can bypass the system check by pressing the "MODE"
button to skip the check.

Connection to a Non‑SmartCraft Network
The use of the MercMonitor on a non‑SmartCraft network application requires
the MercMonitor gateway set to "Receive." Failure to set the gateway to
"Receive" will cause numerous faults to appear that cannot be resolved.
Changing the gateway to "Receive" will clear the faults. The menu path to set
the gateway to "Receive" is: "Main Menu," > "Settings," > "Gateway," >
"Gateway."
Automatic Engine Detection Feature
The SmartCraft monitor has an automatic engine detection feature. This feature
automatically detects which engine type is used and configures the gauge to
match that engine type.

Active Trim
REQUIREMENTS
Additional hardware for your vessel may be required for the Active Trim
features to function. See your authorized Mercury Marine dealer for information
on required hardware.
Introduction to Active Trim
Active Trim is Mercury Marine’s patented GPS‑based automatic trim system.
This intuitive, hands‑free system continually adjusts engine or drive trim for
changes in operating conditions to improve performance, fuel economy, and
ease of operation. It responds to boat maneuvers with precision and delivers a
better overall driving experience. No knowledge of trimming an engine or drive
is needed to take advantage of Active Trim.
• As the boat accelerates, the engine or drive will trim out.
• As the boat decelerates, for example, while making a turn, the engine or
drive will trim in.
• Active Trim can be overridden at anytime by using the regular, manual
trim buttons.
• Active Trim allows the boat operator to compensate for changes in boat
load, driver preferences, and weather conditions while maintaining full
automatic control.
The Active Trim system has four modes of operation:
1. Idle speeds
Maintains the existing trim position.
2. Acceleration (hole shot)
Tucks the engine or drive under to minimize bow
rise and improve time‑to‑plane.
eng 49
Page 56
61898
61899
PROPULSION MENU
3. Planing speeds
Progressively trims the engine or drive based on
GPS speed to maintain the most efficient
running attitude.
4. Override
When the boat operator uses manual trim, the
Active Trim system is immediately overridden,
returning full control to the operator.
Active Trim Operation
• Active Trim automatically controls trim to maintain the optimum engine or
drive position based on engine RPM and boat speed.
• Active Trim progressively trims out the engine or drive to maintain an
efficient running attitude.
• Active Trim will maintain the last known trim position when operating at
speeds in excess of 80 km/h (50 mph).
• Operation above 80 km/h (50 mph) may require trim adjustments using
the panel mounted or control handle trim position switch.
• Active Trim will gradually return the engine or drive to the down position
during deceleration.
• Active Trim will only function when the engine or drive is in the normal trim
range.
GPS
Active Trim uses a GPS signal to determine vessel speed. The Active Trim
system will not automatically control trim until the GPS unit has acquired a
signal.
Resume Functionality
If the boat operator overrides the Active Trim system at planing speeds using
the trim button, or exceeds 80 km/h (50 mph), the system will stop controlling
the trim. Active Trim will resume automatically under the following conditions:
• Override occurred above 80 km/h (50 mph) and the boat operator then
decelerates to below 80 km/h (50 mph).
• Override occurred above 80% of the rated engine RPM and the boat
operator then decelerates to below 80% of the rated engine RPM.
• Override occurred in the cruising speed range and then the boat operator
decelerates to idle. Active Trim will become active on the next
acceleration.
50 eng
Page 57
PROPULSION MENU
Shallow Water Operation
Active Trim cannot detect water depth and will not trim up automatically in
shallow water. The boat operator will need to override Active Trim by trimming
the engine or drive manually or pressing the OFF button.
Trailer Position
Placing the engine or drive in trailer position (over 50% of the adapted trim
range) will prevent Active Trim from engaging. Any time the engine or drive is
trimmed above its normal range—to navigate shallow water, launch the boat
from a trailer, or load the boat onto a trailer, for example—you must manually
trim down before Active Trim will function. This safety feature is meant to
prevent the engine or drive from automatically trimming down and hitting
something.
Trim Profiles
Active Trim works off 25 preset trim profiles. These 25 trim profiles are divided
into 5 Major profile groups. Within each Major profile group are 5 Minor profiles
—sometimes referred to as adjustable profiles.
Major Trim profiles: Major trim profiles are selected in the Settings menu.
There are five Major trim profiles. The lower the number, the less aggressive
the trim position of the outboard or drive will be at a lower boat speed. As the
Major trim profile number is increased, the more aggressive the outboard or
drive trim angle will be at lower boat speeds. Finding the proper Major trim
profile ultimately results in the boat running on plane, where the bow is at a
desirable attitude to the water surface and the outboard or drive is
perpendicular to the water surface. For most applications, a Major trim profile
will be 2, 3, or 4. Select a running Major trim profile and increase the Major
profile until the boat begins to porpoise, then back down one Major trim profile.

Minor Trim profiles: Minor profiles are selected in the Propulsion screen. Once
a desirable Major trim profile has been selected, select a Minor trim profile.
Slight variations in the Minor trim profiles can be made to help compensate for
boat loading—passenger or gear distribution, changes in ballast or fuel tank
levels, weather, propping, and operator preference. Select a Minor trim profile
between 1 and 5 to find the ideal trim position for running on plane.

Pushing the "+" button will enable the Active Trim feature.
When Active Trim is enabled, the operator will be able to select a profile that
best suits their boating preference. There are 5 adjustable Active Trim profiles.
A lower number profile applies less trim to the outboard or drive, while a higher
number profile applies more trim to the outboard or drive. Pressing the "–" or
"+" button will navigate either UP or DOWN through the profiles. This allows the
operator to fine tune the trim curve during boat operation to compensate for
differences in environmental conditions or boat loading. If there is not enough
adjustment to get the boat to trim properly, a major profile adjustment may
need to be made.
