Section 1 - General Information

Overview

IMPORTANT: VesselView is a multi‑function display (MFD) that is compatible with products manufactured by Mercury Marine
Outboards, Mercury Marine 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 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 the 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 a waypoint asking to acknowledge the turn, or display text on
how to adjust the engine and drives to achieve maximum efficiency.
VesselView is equipped with a mico SD card port that allows an authorized OEM or dealership to import the vessel personality
configuration. When more than one VesselView is used, either as a triple‑ or quad‑engine application, or a second helm, the
same mico SD card can be used to download those configurations.
