Digital Gauges on Your Phone.
The VesselView Mobile app displays key data for one to four engines on your smartphone. Keep track of your fuel usage, engine temperature, battery charge, rpm – or any other data points you want to see. There are dozens of data points to choose from, and you can customize up to three screens to fit your style. You’ll have a better sense of your true rpm, your fuel burn, your speed, your engine temperatures and pressures – anything that can be measured on analog gauges will be more accurate with VesselView Mobile.
Easy to Install and Set Up.
The VesselView Mobile module connects to any Mercury SmartCraft-capable engine – outboards and sterndrives, 2004 and newer, 40hp and up. Install the module in just a few minutes, connect with the app and you’re ready to get on the water. You can select your preferred Mercury Dealer in the app and share your engine data with them for quick troubleshooting. An optional Mini Mount System holds your phone on a secure surface for easy access to data and safe boating.
Know What’s Going On.
With the VesselView Mobile module connected to your engine you can keep track of true engine running hours and know ahead of time when you’re due for a regular maintenance interval. In addition to providing information on your engine’s performance, VesselView Mobile can even notify you if something isn’t right. More than just a series of beeps or a numeric code, VesselView Mobile will tell you in clear language what is going on with your engine.
Dealers, Shops & More.
When you select your Preferred Dealer within the app, you can share your engine data with your dealer, who can then review any alerts and help you keep your engine in top condition. The VesselView Mobile app also has a map feature that includes local points of interest such as marinas, restaurants, or local bait shops – so you don’t need to switch between apps or search manually for them. It also comes with handy checklists, so you don’t forget any important items on shore.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I like knowing my precise engine RPM, and it was reassuring to see that my boat's analog tachometer is reasonably accurate. My boat was not equipped with a speedometer, so it is nice that the app reports speed using the phone's GPS. My boat was also not equipped with an engine hour meter, and I had no idea how many hours were on the engine because I bought the boat used. This little device solved that problem for me and the app conveniently tracks service needs based on engine hours. My favorite feature of this device and its software is that it estimates fuel consumption and calculates gallons per hour, miles per gallon, and distance/time to empty based on how many gallons you tell it you've added to the tank.
The only disappointment that I've had with this device and its app is that it does not report engine oil pressure or cooling water temp. However, that may be a limitation of my engine's instrumentation, or it could be that I have just not found it in the app yet!
I do recommend adding a USB charging port to your boat for your phone if you don't already have one. Running the app continuously for several hours takes a toll on my phone's battery.
I love all the info and features that this gives you, when it works. It disconnects from bluetooth ALL THE TIME!!!!! I was out yesterday on my boat for 1.5 hours and it must of disconnected at least 25 times. I've only had this unit installed and began using it since June 2021 and it has always disconnected sporadically. As last season went along, it seemed to get worse. Now, just as this season is starting it's back to the same disconnecting issues. This is very frustrating and I feel like I wasted $200!

We can now see our fuel consumption, RPM and other metrics
I wish we could see the trim but not essential.
Since we have couple drivers it was important to be able to install on each other’s phone and share data. Well it does work as long as you all sign in with same credentials and voila!
Let’s see now if the data follows us..
Great alternative over having to pass new cables…
Attivazione: semplice
Dà qualche informazione, ma l'app non è in grado di paragonarsi ad una strumentazione reale. Il problema più grosso è che ad ogni riaccensione di motore si riparte da zero. L'avevo comperato per avere sotto controllo i consumi visto che lo strumento del serbatoio è poco preciso, ma per il problema sopra esposto non si riesce ad avere informazioni semplici ed immediate.
Manca completamente un manuale, si spera solo di avere presto aggiornamenti sostanziosi della App.
Il potenziale esiste, ma Mercury deve lavorare, e molto!
Installation: simple
Activation: simple
It gives some information, but the app cannot compare to real instrumentation. The biggest problem is that at every engine start the app starts from scratch. I had bought the tool in order to keep track of fuel consumption as the tank gauge is unreliable.
Unfortunately this tool does not help a lot in order to supply simple and immediate information.
There is no manual at all, we can only wait for App improvements, if any. Potential does exist, but Mercury has to work a lot on it.
