So I'm currently dropping a 2006 opti power head 175 hp on to my carbed 1995 mid and lower. Basically 2004 and newer comes rigged with smart craft I heard. So there is this adapter that goes from the 14 pin smartcraft connection to the old 8 pin style to run all your old analog gauges and key start plug and play.

Then I also got vessel view mobile for like $250. Its a module and blue tooth transmitter that plugs into engines i believe 2004 and newer. Then it send error codes, all the digital engine data, and fuel consumption information to your phone. Check it out def the way to go if you ask me.
