After doing some reading I decided to go with 403 as it will serve a gateway to a bigger display. Still learning. Also looks like I can plug my analog trim senders into digital ports on the engine but may have to go with digital as it is part of a kit (8M0111553)

@30outlaw for ActiveTrim and PropAlart you dont need DTS. The Active Trim needs the VesselViewLink module and a MFD like Simrad GO 9, 7 ..... other Gateways (Merc Gateway, Vesselview7 ore 5 ) dont work with Active Trim on MFD. If you dont have the VVLink Modul than you need the Active Trim Pad too for activate the ActiveTrim. The push start/Stop dont work, you are right, only on DTS. Trim Taps works on the GEN2 525EFIs, steering Sensore are no problem too.
I use Simrad GO 9 with VesselviewLink and Active Trim mech on my twin 525EFI Gen2 setup. My idea are to use the Active Trim like a Drive Sync, but it dont work nice. The Active trim disabelt automaticly if i trim up ore down a litle bit and dont activats automaticly after. So it dont work for this use. The Active Trim uses only the RPM it dont feels if it is to high trimed, than you need to use a other STEP 1 to 5 in the setup. 1-5 steps are calibrat with the Vesselview Drive trim. Full down, strade to buttom and trailer Trim, are used for calibration. The 5 Steps are in this range. The ActiveTrim dont so wave conditions. |
Have you made any progress on the trim indicators? I'm considering buy a transom assembily because it's pretty close to me but it's a Smartcraft tansom assembily and I have an older 1990 Bravo one. 'm trying to figure out if going the opposite way is doable. . .and how to do it.

steering sensor does work on the 525's but if one has an ITS there is no place to attacht the sensor. |
What's a 525? Sorry

I promised him not to go over 50 MPH :) So I am off to look for a new mechanic that know the difference between power and torque. Is there a way you can put a kit for me?

Crackpipe emogi is a first for me, lol. I'm still trying to figure out why the 525 is, a newer transom assembly maybe?

@30outlaw, yes ITS is a problem with steering sensor.
@Gru, what are your goal ? only 1 Display ? ore all old gauges and a digtal Display simultan in your cockpit ?? if you convert the trim do digital for the digital Display, you need a AGI to convert the digital trim to your analog trim gauge. Same with oil, water temp,,,,.... than you need a smartcraft cabel (blue with yellow Engine per engine, j-box.....AGI......) my old 1991 boat with old mechanical Trim/Tab and alle digital and AGI analog same time. https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.off...60b7c9f7c9.jpg |
