  If you check this site it says the part number you give is the single engine replacement for vessel view mobile which is no longer available and will not connect to chart plotter. Try using the vessel view app with smart phone or tablet. https://www.mercruiserparts.com/mercury-mercruiser-98-8m0173128-avator-s?srsltid=AfmBOorShGypZcyMYjvkENhk13Y-8_xpXmW8rUe9LrlFQzbvTmtyUJ7Y

  @aero3113 I don't have a working compass on ours and I know nothing about this type of equipment. Since my boating is relatively isolated ...I looked into the vessel view but did not seem I was really going to gain anything I wanted.

  I felt I gained a lot with VV.  Analog gages are notoriously inaccurate.  I got reliable rpm and engine temps, probably the 2 most important for me plus real time gallons burned per hour for a sense of best rpm for efficiency.

  @Spyderweb I get it and if you make long runs I can see that as important info- especially the fuel burn- i just don't need it. I'd love to be able to pull codes.  You cab buy a pretty cheap one for a car that is pretty accurate..
