I have 275DC with twin 150XL’s, and I’m looking to install the smart craft gateway. Has anyone done this? I currently have two SC1000 tach and one SC1000 speedo. With the existing setup is there a smart craft junction box or are there individual harnesses run for each engine?
Want to make sure I have all the parts before I venture down this road.

Hi James you may want to see a recent post by Brad who did a similar addition. I sent him some documentation I created when I put in a NMEA2000 backbone and tied in my Yamaha 200s to see them on the Axiom MFDs. I'll gladly send you the article and diagrams I sent him if you PM me with your email address and in the meantime I'll see if I can find Brad's post here.

James, I added the nmea 2000 network to my 2018 sailfish245 DC. I'm not sure if that's the same as the smart craft gateway. I can tell you the NMEA was easy although not inexpensive. The gate way was over $550 and that was for my single mercy 300. I'm not sure what you would need for twins.. I did a little research on Internet and found the mere plug directly under the helm. It was all truly plug and play although you need to set it up with capaities etc once complet. Look at Jerry's plans and his comments, they will really help.

Finally had some time to do some digging behind the console. I found the junction box, super easy to get to in the mess of wiring thankfully. Appears to have a few open ports as well. Beyond that the rest looks pretty straight forward.
Based on Garmin’s info, the programming seems pretty straight forward. The only thing I can’t seem to find too much info on is calibrating the fuel tank. Anyone have any good links on that, or info?

James, Did you figure out calibrating the fuel tank? I still don't have that!
