I ordered a MercMonitor and the sensors and harnesses from Don Weed at European Marine a couple of weeks ago, and got it installed this last weekend while the weather was cold and crappy. This next weekend im replacing the 7 touch on the console with a 9 touch thanks to Brian at BBG Marine. Heres some pics.

Did you have to change transmittor from analog to digital on Merc?Being its a 150 4 stroke it was pretty well plug and play. Even the trim sending unit is digital from the factory. Thanks for the complements guys.

Hell Yeah that looks good. Got MercMonitor and Lowrance but my Merc trim is not digital. Was wondering how difficult this task is to change to digital trim, maybe I wasnt clear.

My understanding is you just have to change the sending unit which isnt bad at all. I think all you have to do is tilt the motor up and pull 2 or 3 screws out after unplugging the sending unit, then install the new one in its place. The last part is calibrating the trim on the MercMonitor which is easy as well especially if you have a angle meter. I have one for driveshaft angles so I calibrated mine in the shop.

The analog is a 2 wire. The digital is a 3 wire. Those wires are in the bottom part of the bottom cowl on the same side.2013 PANTERA 2MERCURY 200 PRO XSMINNKOTA 80LB FORTREX25 fury
