Engines Shown
This number represents the number of engines that will be displayed on this particular VesselView unit.
Engine Model
Highlighting and selecting engine model will bring up a list of Mercury outboards and MerCruiser engines to choose from.
Limits
Limits helps set specific ranges for many engine data parameters such as: RPM, coolant temperature, oil temperature, battery
voltage, and boost pressure. Changes made to limits will not affect the engine package or the operation of Mercury's Engine
Guardian programming. The actual engine limits are determined by the factory programmed control module on the engine.
Setting
Description
Min: The value of the base of the on‑screen graph
Max: The value of the top of the on‑screen graph
Warning low: The value at the top of the lower color section of the on‑screen graph
Warning high: The value at the bottom of the upper color section of the on‑screen graph
The default minimums and maximums are factory preset to the engine package chosen during the Setup Wizard or the Engines
Setting menu. Increasing or decreasing the warning minimums and maximums is generally regarded as the boater's personal
preference.
Supported Data
Supported Data allows the operator to select the types of data that the VesselView will display. The list of data sources is
dependent on the power package selected during the Setup Wizard. Select the check box for each data item you want
VesselView to be able to display.
Cruise/Smart Tow Type
The Cruise/Smart Tow type setting allows the operator to select the sensor from which the Cruise autopilot program and the
Smart Tow program launch profiles get their speed data. Engine RPM or GPS speed data are the options. Selecting Auto will
make VesselView query the network for a source of speed based data and use that selection for the Cruise and Smart Tow
features.
Active Trim
Active Trim setup is covered during the Setup Wizard process, but changes can be made at any time. Follow the on‑screen
messages and prompts to change and complete the Active Trim setup.
Preferences
The Preferences options in the Settings menu covers the visual and audible aspects of the VesselView unit.
Key Beeps
Every time a button is pressed on the unit there will be an accompanying beep to let the user know the button press has been
recognized. There are options to set the key beeps to off, quiet, normal, or loud.
