1 Introduction
The Navman SmartCraftTM gateway connects one or two SmartCraft capable Mercury petrol/gasoline engines to a SmartCraft capable Navman instrument, such as the FISH 4380, FISH 4600 or TRACKFISH 6600. The single gateway is for single engines, the dual gateway is for twin engines.
Adding the gateway extends the functions of the Navman instrument, allowing the instrument to:
Display engine data, such as speed, RPM, pressures, tank levels.
Control troll speed and display trim.
Sound an alarm if it detects an abnormal engine condition.
This manual describes:
How to install a Navman SmartCraft gateway.
How to use the SmartCraft functions of a Navman SmartCraft capable instrument. Refer to the separate Navman instrument
Installation and Operation Manual for information on how to install and use the instrument.
The engine data available in a system depends on the type of engine used (see section 1-1). The gateway replaces any fuel flow sensors that might be plugged into the Navman
instrument .
It is vital to read this document and the associated SmartCraft and Navman installation and operation manuals before installing or using the system.

Cut white connector off gateway cable. Connect five gateway cable wires (red, black, blue, orange, brown) to the same colour wires in the power/data cable. An optional Navman NavBus junction box simplifies wiring.
2-3 Installation
1Plan the installation: select where the equipment and wiring will be installed. Ensure that gateway can be located on a panel near the Navman instrument, where it will not interfere with the operation of the boat. (eg: cables are long enough for the installation planned)
2Screw the gateway to the panel using the screws provided.
3Connect the gateway (see sections 2-1 and 2-2). Secure the cables at regular intervals.
4Power up, set up and test the system. Check the gateway LEDs:
NAV (orange): Flashes fast when gateway is exchanging data with the Navman instrument and the engine key is on.
PWR (green): On when power and the engine key are on.
CAN (red): Flashes fast when gateway is exchanging data with the SmartCraft engine(s) and the engine key is on.
Important:
1Do not connect any Navman fuel sensors to the Navman instrument.
2It is not necessary to wire any Navman instrument for auto power on.
3The Navman SmartCraft capable instrument sends SmartCraft data to other
Navman instruments connected by NavBus. To connect other instruments by NavBus, see the instrument’s installation and operation manual. Turn NavBus on in all Navman
instruments connected by NavBus; for example, for a Fish 4380, in the Comms setup menu, turn NavBus to On.
4A gateway does not provide data for system link gauges.
5To use speed troll control, the Navman instrument must have a Navman paddlewheel speed sensor connected.

The SmartCraft data available depends on the engine type and the sensors fitted (see section 1-1). To disable the SmartCraft functions, turn SmartCraft to Off (see section 3-1); the instrument will now use any
Navman fuel sensors which are connected.
To use the SmartCraft functions and not the sonar functions, turn Sonar to Off (see section 3-1).
Changes to standard functions with SmartCraft
key: When using troll control, pressing 
can display the troll window. Press 
a second time to display the normal menu of options.
Fuel display: The fuel display functions normally, with fuel and speed data coming from the SmartCraft system rather than from separate sensors connected to the FISH 4380.
Fuel setup options:
If no fuel tanks have an optional level sensor fitted (see section 1-1-1), then the Smartcraft fuel flow is used to calculate fuel remaining. The fuel setup data is the same as the standard FISH 4380. You must tell the FISH 4380 when you add or remove fuel (see the FISH 4380 Installation and Operation manual).
If each fuel tank has an optional level sensor fitted (see section 1-1-1), then these tank levels are
used to calculate fuel remaining. In the Fuel display, Used changes to Trip used, and the only fuel setup option is Clear trip used. Trip used measures the volume of fuel used until it is reset to zero by selecting Clear trip used in the fuel setup menu. You do not tell the FISH
4380 when you add or remove fuel.
