Hi
I have brightness issues with my smart craft vessel view it still works fine I tried the mobile vessel view it only gives me rpms in one engine but gives me faults on both to up grade to vessel view 703 it is about $2200 I also want to update my Raymarine C80 to axiom 9 RV is it worth it. Has anyone also put railings on there swim platform.
 
Beautiful boat with the hardtop option. Hopefully some of our more savvy members (all the more reasons to be a member here) can chime in and assist you with your decision. I have a 2003 and I am going to upgrade mine as the budget allows. I have already ordered a radio that has the AIS option. We boat on a river with very busy barge traffic and this is going to be a great addition to our boat.
 
I have a 2008 40DA and upgraded my MFDs to an e127, and later added an Axiom 12 in the second position. Love the upgrade and highly recommend it. You'll need to get a Mercury Marine NMEA2000 gateway that will allow you to get your engine data on the Axiom. I absolutely love mine.IMG_2209 copy.jpg
 
There is a guy Mike in here who can fix your screen. Do a search, might be worthwhile.
 
I highly recommend the axiom MFDs. I added a dual 9-inch set up on my 340 and love it. I also added the quantum radar. Winter projects include adding a smartcraft to nema2k gateway to bring in engine data also.

I just put an axiom 9 in my whaler, haven’t had a chance to use it on the water yet, but playing around with it in the shop, I am really pleased. I opted to do Vessel View 4 in my 340, replacing the speedometer with it. It fits well in the spot where the Speedo lives, and opens up the space where the current smart craft is for an additional MFD screen.
 
This is my dual axiom setup. I also recommend the navionics maps over the stock ones. With the dual setup I can run either set on the MFDs since they are networked.
