Picture 1. Picture 2. Legacy chart plotters may not support display of all data types. It would be good to have more first-hand reports about adding Smartcraft instrumentation as a self-install project. The appearance of the Smartcraft gateway product represents an admission by Brunswick that they needed to be able to expand their network to accept the NMEA standard. I will not post again on this subject until I have a working system or confirmation that my version of smartcraft is too old to convert to NMEA That is an excellent find.
I made a local copy of it. Literature like that has a way of disappearing from the web. I recommend you make a local copy of it for your use in case that Russian website hosting that files disappears in the future. Right now, from what I can tell, that is the only place to get any information about Smartcraft.
They use terminators, hubs, extension cables, and drop cables. The biggest difference is that Brunswick is the only source of any of those components for Smartcraft. For NMEA you can buy the wiring devices from many vendors. It would be very useful to get the prices for the various Smartcraft components sold by Brunswick.
I assume you have to buy them from an authorized dealer. If you get a price list for the various component parts, it would be great to have that information. I really have not made a study of the history of when Smartcraft first appeared.
If Brunswick later adopted CAN bus and integrated use of CAN bus with their engines, but continued the branding as Smartcraft, then there could be a situation, as you suggest, where some older products carrying the Smartcraft branding would not be really CAN bus products at all.
If you can dig up some information about the early Smartcraft devices, this will also be very interesting information to have available. I am sorry that I can't help you with this. I have been looking for information about Smartcraft for years, but I always end up being told to talk to a dealer. Unfortunately, my local dealers handing Brunswick's Mercury brand are not really up to speed with Smartcraft, and they are not a good source for information. Many of these Mercury-brand engines are sold on Brunswick brands of new boat transoms, and all the Smartcraft installation and configuration is done by the boat builder and his technicians.
