Will Smartcraft Gauges Work With Reg Bravo Transom

I got Smartcraft gauges in a boat with the regular bravo transom assembly. I have two pairs of black wire coming in from my trim sensors on the outdrive. Should I be able to read trim position?

I think those may be low drive oil sensor wires?

The drive oil reservoir has it's own wires, no need to go through the transom.

Interested to find out what they are? I have the same two wires and they are not hooked up to anything?

The wires coming from the outdrive are either the trim senders, or the Mercathode wires.

I believe that one trim sender will work with the smartcraft.
