I think its a great feature. Just wish more GPS units had it built in so it was easier to retrofit on a boat that didn't come with it.

top rpm and speed is awesome does it tell you how long it sustained top rpm and speed and is it easy to use im looking at buying a boat with smartcraft would be great info to know thx

No, just top rpm and speed. You reset it simply by pressing and holding the select button. I believe a Mercury dealer can scan the ECM and upload a history that includes rpm levels and duration for the life of the engine.

The SC5000 is very easy to use IMO. It even has a 'Favorites' function that lets you set-up a series of screens that it automatically cycles through while running. You can set the time it displays each screen shot.

I am working on the ability to run his "regular" motors and be able to have the smart craft info come up on his GPS unit. Another example would be my Fomula 311 with 420's I would have to totally replace my dash to get water preasure and oil temp guages in. Instead I will put those two things up on the GPS.

Jon - Where do you stand with this? I am thinking about a whole new instrument layout and would love to hookup some of the smartcraft functionality to my carbed 502's!

I have parts on the way and should be running some tests in a few weeks.
