SmartCraft introduction

The SmartCraft system provides a wealth of real-time informa-

tion about the physical systems on your vessel, including

engines, tanks and trim settings. When properly installed and

calibrated, SmartCraft displays and manages data such as engine

RPM, oil pressure, and many other items.

Most readings are shown as traditional analog gauges that are

easy to read and interpret. Others, such as gear position, are

shown as pictorial representations.

Displaying SmartCraft data

Once SmartCraft is properly configured by your dealer, just press

the

STAR

key to display a full screen of data. Most data is

displayed as traditional analog gauges, in some cases with a small

digital readout at the bottom of the each gauge. Data can be

displayed in metric or English units, as determined by the

Distance/Speed units selection on the Display Options screen.

Three SmartCraft screens can be selected by pressing the menu

keys.

• Engine Screen — the primary display, showing the data you

need for normal use

• Docking Screen — displays information for docking and

maneuvering

• Tanks Screen — displays gauges indicating the levels of fuel,

water and waste tanks (if sensors are installed).

Select the desired screen by pressing the appropriate menu key

on the SmartCraft screen. The menu key for the selected screen

– 2 – GMSMCRFT Rev A

is displayed in red; others are blue. Other

STAR

key functions are

still available from additional presses of the

STAR

key.

If an engine is shut off, or if SmartCraft data is missing for any

other reason, the gauge needles disappear, digital readouts

display no data, and an alarm is raised.

The primary screens

Engine screen

See “Configuring the screens” on page 5 for choosing which

gauges are displayed on the engine screen.

Analog gauges

Most data is displayed on an analog gauges using a traditional

needle and a small digital readout at the bottom of the gauge.

The gauge is labelled with the data type, and the units of

measure are shown on the gauge.

Sync gauge

On a dual-engine system, the engine sync needle indicates the

RPM difference between the two engines. Adjust engine speed

until the needle is centered.

Trim gauge and popup

The trim gauge indicates the angle of the engine/propellor. Trim

may be displayed on the screen, or can be configured to appear

as a popup gauge whenever it changes by a designated amount.

The gauge dial displays the operating range of the trim setting as

readings from 0 to 10, covering 2/3 of the dial. The remaining

GMSMCRFT Rev A – 3 –

third of the dial indicates the trailer positions of the trim (read-

ings from 10 to 25).

Gear position

The gear position indicator shows whether the transmission is in

gear or in neutral, and, for some systems, whether in forward or

reverse gear.

Docking screen

See “Configuring the screens” on page 5 for choosing which

gauges are displayed on the docking screen.

The docking screen is designed to show information needed for

docking and other close maneuvering. Depending on the installa-

tion and engine type, the docking screen can display RPM, gear

position, steering angle, depth, SOG, pitot speed, paddle wheel

speed, and a video window.

Tanks screen

See “Configuring the screens” on page 5 for choosing which

gauges are displayed on the tanks screen.

The tanks screen shows the fluid level of fuel, oil, water, and/or

waste tanks. Level may be shown in gallons, liters, or percentage,

depending on the configuration (only percentage readings are

available if a tank has not been calibrated).

Tanks levels should be calibrated during system installation, as

described later.

Vessels with multiple

6000i

control heads

If your

6000i

system has more than one control head installed,

you should be aware of the following:

The SmartCraft system is interfaced to one particular

6000i

your network. That

6000i

must be turned on to broadcast the

data to the other control heads. If it’s not on, a message will be

displayed on other heads when you try to display the unavail-

able SmartCraft data. Just turn the interfaced head on, and data

will soon be available.
