NEW PRODUCTS - SMARTCRAFT MERCMONITOR WITH ECO-SCREEN
Mercury says boaters can easily reduce their fuel consumption by up to 20 per cent when they use a new SmartCraft MercMonitor system with ECO-Screen.
The ECO-Screen is a diagnostic device that constantly monitors engine RPM, boat speed, engine trim and fuel consumption. It then automatically calculates the best-fuel economy settings for the boat’s current activity.
The device uses a colour-light backdrop to show the driver when the settings are optimised. Green means the settings are optimised, while yellow means fuel-economy can be improved.
The new SmartCraft MercMonitor with ECO-Screen is fully compatible with NMEA 2000 systems. This means MercMonitor’s engine management data can be displayed on the screen of NMEA 2000 compatible instruments.
Mercury also said that advanced diagnostics also reduce the likelihood of the engine sustaining damage, thereby enhancing safety.
According to Mercury, the product was recently endorsed by West Marine, one of the world’s largest marine retailers, with more than 360 stores across the United States. West Marine named it the “Industry’s Green Product of the Year” at the recent Miami Boat Show.
