VesselView 4 Overview
IMPORTANT: VesselView is a multifunction display (MFD) that is compatible with products manufactured by Mercury Marine
Outboards, Mercury MerCruiser, and Mercury Diesel. Some of the functions explained in this manual will be disabled
depending on the power package it is connected to.
VesselView 4 is a comprehensive boat information center that can display information for up to two 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 an authorized OEM or dealership to import 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‑ or quad‑engine application, or a second helm, the same micro SD card can be used to download those
configurations.
