[QUOTE="MrGiggles, post: 497785, member: 22613"] Get the Smartcraft combo gauge/tach instead of Vesselview. Vesselview does not give any real codes that will cross to anything that we can access. Only the dealers have that info. It'll only give you a vague generic code that doesn't really give any useful information aside from "contact your dealer." Plus it's a mobile app and they're always buggy, require constant updates, etc. I hate that everything is going to them, they always seem to be the worst possible experience. The Smartcraft gauge is close to the same price but will give you real trouble codes and does all of the same stuff, hour meter, oil pressure, temp, etc. I have the VV dongle and wish I would've just bought the gauge instead. I'm not sure if Lowrance has the option but Garmins will also display some engine data with the right NMEA gateway. [/QUOTE]
