Just when you thought it couldn’t get any clearer, Mercury Marine in the U.S. has released its biggest ever VesselView display, a bright 16x9in aspect ratio, high-definition glass touchscreen with all your engine and nav data rolled into one.
The new VesselView903, which is promoted as the company's largest and most advanced multifunction display, is similar to the
VesselView 703 (recent news) launched at the 2017 Miami International Boat Show and recently made available Down Under.
The new advanced technology in the VesselView903 display incorporates all the Simrad accessories for the Go9 product line — radar, sonar transducers, fish finder, AIS, VHF, Sonic Hub/Fusion Link/ SiriusXM, C-Zone/Naviop digital switching, and more.
The VesselView903 also features a built in 10Hz GPS and chart plotter capability (regional electronic chart cards purchased separately), unique touch-screen interface that delivers intuitive display interaction (optional remote-control button interface is available), and auto notification of software updates through the embedded WiFi.
Zachary Savage, Mercury Marine VesselView Program Manager, suggests the new 9in VesselView would be a good fit with today’s multi-outboard sportfishers and crossover boats.
"Our next generation VesselView technology allows boaters the ability to simultaneously display information for up to four engines at a time in an easy-to-use touch-screen interface," he said.
The technology supports 16 languages and multiple unit conversions and, with VesselView Link, boaters have the ability to fully integrate the propulsion system and make their display multi-functional (included in the kit).
In addition, VesselView903 provides a descriptive fault text display as well as up-to-date information for 30+ engine parameters Including: Fuel Level & Range, Oil Temperature & Pressure, Battery Voltage, Water Depth, Genset and more.
Mercury Marine says VesselView903 will start shipping from October, 2017.
