    Upgrading Thoughts

    I am going to go from the sc5000 to the VesselView 1.5. You need to enlarge the cutout, but the system is plug and play.

    Hi, my engineer did it. Mine were OK, but I believe they can be difficult. Essential to get it done though. He told me that he may damage them getting them apart, new ones are $3700 for the pair, luckily mine came out OK. Though it has spent the past 5 years in freshwater which may have helped.

    Part way through the first service on my ‘new to me’ 420, if you ever thought to scrimp on taking the aftercoolers off to clean them, look at these!

    Thank you so much, that's very helpful.

    Vessel View 1.5

    Hi, apologies for not asking before, but would you know where I can get the template for the installation, the one to cut the dash? I am not sure if the units are physically the same size. Thanks Iain

    It’s a quick guide or quick start, they provide it as a reference document so you don’t have to digest the 110 page instruction manual.

    Vessel View 1.5

    Hi Hi, thank you, but I already have the bigger manual, I was looking for the shorter ‘Quick Guide’. Regards Iain

    The screen is 'shot' on my Smartcraft Systemview sc5000. I have purchased a second hand Vesselview 1.5 which should be plug and play. My question is, does anybody have a copy of the Quick Start/ Guide for this piece of equipment? Thanks Iain

    Hi, I had a similar issue, I wanted a good quality RIB, but wanted something lighter. I purchased the F-RIB (http://foldablerib.com/product/f-rib-330/) and it is fantastic, seats 4, it weighs 110lbs, great quality and has the added benefit of when I am not at the boat, I can fold it away under...

    I just posted on this, before i read your post, did you make the switch, which vessel view (I am looking at series 5), was it plug and play, same harness, fit the opening without further cutting, etc? It would be nice to know what you did. Thanks in anticipation. Iain

    Brian, I have the same issue. Check the drain hose isn’t kinked. If OK the you might want to defeat the door latch, it’s a regular problem and easy to do. If either of those don’t work, them you’ll likely have to take the unit out, remove the base and check for any blockages in the pump...good luck!

    If you go onto PlasDecks websitehttp://www.plasdeck.com/ they have the templates for the 420 online, I have them in pdf, Happy to upload them if useful. Loads of colour combos. They send the stuff with instructions or you can get an installer. Not cheap though and they don’t talk discount either.

    I’m looking for a bit of help/ advice. The screen on my Smartcraft System View SC5000 is giving up the ghost, it’s OK but fading and difficult to read. I have been looking for a straight replacement but they are few and far between on eBay and anyway, who is to say that the screen would be OK on...

    I swapped out every bulb on the boat to LED, which will help usage when on the hook...every little helps as they say

    Yes, this worked for me too, I purchased the Hurley tie down package and it works a treat. I also installed rubber ‘runners’ on the chock to stop and ‘slippage’ with two shiny surfaces, that helps keep the whole set up secure.
