[QUOTE="dhoganjr, post: 400048, member: 12925"] Feel a whole lot better after getting the lights installed. Very nerve racking cutting into the front of the boat. The MercMonitor or Smartcraft guages is almost a necessity with these engines. There is no better way to get info other than directly from the ecm. Glad you like it. I keep mine on the screen with 3 views while running (rpm's, water pressure, and water temp). These are the ones I feel are most important and need to know at all times. I don't have a fuel guage, but the fuel used screen is also handy and very accurate. You can reset it when you fill up and know exactly what is in the tank. Takes a lot of guess work out of what distance you can run before running out of gas. When it reaches tank capacity, expect the engine to shut down anytime, it is that accurate. If you add a digital trim sender it will let you use the eco feature. It lets you know where the most fuel efficient rpms are. I don't have it but am considering adding it next spring. Glad everything worked out. [/QUOTE]
