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 ty pe of en gine us ed (se e section 1-
1). The gatewa y rep laces 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.
1-1 SmartCraft data available from different engines
The SmartCraft engine data available in a system depends on the type of engine. SmartCraft is a digital engine network

2 Installation
A system in a boat comprises:
a. One or two SmartCraft capable petrol/gaso-
line engines; the data available depends
on engine type and the sensors fitted (see
section 1-1).
b. A single or dual engine gateway.
c. A SmartCraft capable Navman instrument,
such as the FISH 4380, FISH 4600 or TRACKFISH 6600.
d. Other optional Navman instruments and
SmartCraft displays. See Appendix-C
Warning: Correct installation is critical to
the performance of the unit. Before starting
installation, it is vital to read this manual and the
documentation that comes with the other parts.
Then plan the installation and select where the
equipment and cables will be located.
Warning: Ensure that any holes that you cut
will not weaken the boat’s structure. If in doubt,
consult a qualified boat builder.
2-1 Connecting the gateway to the SmartCraft system
Using a Navman cable adaptor: Use a Navman cable adaptor in a single engine system which does not
have optional SmartCraft displays. However, a SmartCraft junction box should be used if future expansion
of the SmartCraft system is planned.

2-3 Installation
1 Plan the installation: select where the equip-
ment 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)
2 Screw the gateway to the panel using the
screws provided.
3 Connect the gateway (see sections 2-1 and
2-2). Secure the cables at regular intervals.
4 Power 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 ex-
changing data with the SmartCraft engine(s)
and the engine key is on.
Important:
1 Do not connect any Navman fuel sensors to
the Navman instrument.
2 It is not necessary to wire any Navman instru-
ment for auto power on.
3 The 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.
4 A gateway does not provide data for system
link gauges.

Tank type
Select the tank type (Unused, Fuel, Water, Oil
or Waste).
Display type
The data from the level sensor in each tank is the
depth in the tank as a percentage of the depth when
the tank is full. If the sides of the tank are not vertical
and straight, or if the tank top and bottom are not
flat, then the level sensor data does not correspond
to the volume in the tank; for example if the sensor
shows 50 %, the tank is not 50 % full.
The Display type option selects how the level
sensor data is displayed:
Percentage: Display the percentage level
sensor data. The default is the percentage
level sensor data. If the tank is calibrated, then
a calibrated percentage is displayed.
Volume: Display a volume calculated from
the sensor data. The default is a linear calculation, for example if the tank holds 500 G and
the sensor shows 50 % of full, then 250 G is
displayed. This is correct if the sides of the
tank are vertical and straight and the tank top
and bottom are flat. If this is not so, calibrate
the tank (see Calibrate below).

displayed. This is correct if the sides of the
tank are vertical and straight and the tank top
and bottom are flat. If this is not so, calibrate
the tank (see Calibrate below).
