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.

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.
