Evinrude does have a gauge that is comparable to the SmartCraft. I am not sure if it gives you all the data that the SmartCraft do though, seems to me they dont. I wouldnt own another boat that had the SmartCraft capability without at least a monitor and preferrably the full gauges. It tells you everything the engine is doing from temp, engine hours, water pressure, trim, fuel mileage, total fuel burnt, etc Nice little addition to the motors. Judd Lasiter
