What is SmartCraft?

After Simrad's announcement of the NSS EVO2 V3 software upgrade and newly included features last week, you may have been asking what SmartCraft is.

 

SmartCraft is a powerful, fully-integrated Boat information system from Mercury Marine that provides up-to-the-second information on dozens of engine diagnostics, including RPM, fuel flow and management, critical temperature readings, speed, and engine Trim.

 

It covers your boat's gauges, sensors, vessel systems, and other computer-controlled features – automatically detecting which engine it's connected to, testing the sensors, and automatically eliminating any displays that aren't supported on that engine. It also reduces your >Rigging time.

 

SmartCraft has been on the market for some years now, but thanks to the new Simrad V3 upgrade, it's set to make your NSS EVO2 even better – integrating seamlessly with the existing EVO2 system.

 

SmartCraft features include:

 

  • NMEA 2000 Compatibility

  • VesselView: Combines all functions on the vessel and displays engine information, presented through a clear, direct, sunlight-viewable, full-color display.

  • MercMonitor: Digital monitoring system that allows you to select and display three separate pieces of data at once.

  • SC1000/ SC100 gauge: Offers essential vessel information in plain, descriptive, easily understood language.

  • Digital Throttle & Shift (DTS): Eliminates Gear grinding while shifting smoothly and quickly, without relying on cables. DTS helps to reduce driver-induced engine damage, and prolongs the life of gearcase and drive units.

  • SmartTow: RPM-based cruise control that makes towing water sports riders easy, bringing your rider out of the water at a preselected speed every time.

  • ECO-Screen: On-board fuel calculator that constantly monitors engine RPM, Boat speed, fuel consumption and engine Trim to automatically calculate and provide optimum fuel economy settings. Saves up to 20% in fuel consumption.

 

By taking the guesswork out of boating, SmartCraft makes your time on the water more enjoyable for you and your passengers.
