VesselView 7 Overview

IMPORTANT: VesselView is a multi‑function 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 is a comprehensive boat information center that can display information for up to four gasoline or diesel engines. It
continuously monitors and reports basic operating data including detailed information such as seawater 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 features and joystick operations. All functionality of these piloting features are
controlled through a strict protocol with Mercury Marine's autopilot control area network (CAN) track pad. VesselView will show
if the mode is active or in standby; popups will appear as the vessel arrives at a waypoint asking to acknowledge the turn, and
display text about how to adjust the engine 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 personality
configuration. It can also be use by the owner to upgrade the operating system. 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.
