Wtb vessel view 5 or 7 for twin outboard motors let me know what you have

I got one. Never used. vv7 $1500.00

Guess I should have did more research b4 saying I want one.
Does vessels view have navigation also or does it need to b link to something else to display navigation maps
Do you have just vessel view or everything needed for your asking price

VV is only engine and boat parameters. If you want nav., you will have to connect a chart plotter.

I have the vessel view, harness & Cover. Mine doesn't have navigation. My part number is 8M6001766.

I planning on upgrading my dash and wanted navigation with engine display all in one.
Do I buy chartplotter with nmea and use mercury gateway to tie into navigation system to display engine data

yep most chartplotters have pages to display nmea2000 engine data

VV7 has the geteway built in and i think VV5 does too.

Due to limited space on my dash im looking at Simrad go7 to be my all in one display

[Turborr]

How do you plan to get your engine and boat parameters to display?

through mercury nmea 2000 gateway module hooked into chartplotter. If this is not the way please correct me as im doing on going research to get this right b4 buying stuff i dont need

Engine data cables,fuel sensor cable run to mercury j-box then gateway module from j-box to chartplotter

O....K..... I think you are talking about the vessel view link. Now I got you.

The Vesselview units are rebadged Simrad. I prefer buying the Simrad unit itself and plugging in Vesselview Link. You get identical functionality and an MFD that meets your needs.

Only Navico based units support Vesselview but you can use a Garmin if you use the Mercury NMEA 2000 gateway. It’s not Vesselview but it will display standard engine parameters.
