VesselView Overview
IMPORTANT: VesselView is a multifunction display (MFD) that is compatible with products manufactured by Mercury Marine
Outboards, Mercury MerCruiser, Mercury Diesel. In addition, the VesselView software can be installed on compatible display
devices from Lowrance® and Simrad®. Some of the functions explained in this manual will be disabled depending on the
power package it is connected to.
IMPORTANT: The VesselView vessel management system consists of two parts; the VesselView unit and the VesselView Link
Module. The VesselView Link reads Mercury's SmartCraft data and broadcasts that information across the NMEA 2K network.
VesselView is a comprehensive boat information center that can display information for up to four gasoline or diesel engines. It
continuously monitors and reports operating data including detailed information such as water temperature and depth, trim
status, boat speed and steering angle, and the status of fuel, oil, water, and waste tanks.

VesselView can be fully integrated with a vessel’s global positioning system (GPS) or other NMEA‑compatible devices to
provide up‑to‑the‑minute navigation, speed, and fuel‑to‑destination information.
VesselView is a display extension for autopilot and joystick operations. All functionality of these piloting features are controlled
through Mercury Marine's autopilot control area network (CAN) pad. VesselView will show if a mode of control is active or in
standby; pop‑ups will appear as the vessel arrives at waypoints, prompting response to turns. Additional display text can be
used to adjust the engines and drives to achieve maximum efficiency.
VesselView is equipped with a micro SD card port that allows the import or export of the vessel personality configuration. It can
also be used by the owner to upgrade to the latest software version. When more than one VesselView is used, either as a
triple‑engine or quad‑engine application, or a second helm, the same micro SD card can be used to download those
configurations to each VesselView unit.
VesselView Screen Display Locations and Descriptions
