What Engine Configurations are Supported?

The VesselView Module will work in any of the
following configurations:

• For single engine applications that do not have SmartCraft
architecture (an available junction box at
the helm), you can install the module directly
on the engine. This setup does require the
ten-pin termination resistor, typically yellow and
on the engine.

• For multi-engine applications that do not have SmartCraft
architecture (available junction box
under the helm), see your Mercury Marine dealer
for assistance with architecture configuration
and installation.

• For boats with SmartCraft architecture in place, use an open port
(remove weather cap) in a junction box or replace your junction box
with a higher capacity unit if all ports are already used.

What are the Requirements to Use the App?

To get the most from your app, you need the following:

1. Mercury Marine SmartCraft-capable engine.
Typically from 2003 and newer, 40 HP and above,
single to quad engine boat.

Please reference the chart above for compatibility.

Still unsure?

Your local Mercury Marine dealer is a great source for answers to all
your boating needs.

Provide your engine serial number to the dealer to help verify if your
boat is VesselView Mobile compatible.

2. The VesselView Mobile module.

VesselView Mobile

3. A compatible Smart Device with the VesselView Mobile app installed.
Compatible devices are either iOS (Apple) or Android with BLE
(Bluetooth Low Energy), versions 4.0 or later. GPS and cellular–
enabled devices will provide the most capability.

Why Do I Need a VesselView Mobile Log–in?

The basic functionality of VesselView Mobile
does not require a valid log–in.

NOTE: Detailed fault information requires a valid log–in.

Why Do I Need a Profile to Log–in?

The profile created on the mobile device is used to keep track of engine
specific information (engine hours, maintenance history, engine software
ID, etc.). The profile determines how many engines will be displayed. A
profile name is required and is typically the name of your boat.
