Looking for some guidance. Boat is a 2003 290 Amberjack, dual 350s. Boat came with the Smartcraft System View, but I recently purchased the 403 VesselView to replace the old (fried) System View.
The mechanic got it hooked up and it's working, but I don't think it's connected properly. The old module had two input ports (one for each engine's gauges??), but this one only has one input port. There is a junction box behind the dash (labelled "junction box" - see photos), and it looks like there are two input ports on the junction box and two output ports on it. The problem/question is, how do we hook up the analogue gauges so that they also function, in addition to them working on the new 403 Vessel View? Right now, both plugs coming off the analogue gauges are not plugged into anything - what/where do they get plugged in??? Photos below show the junction box behind the dash where the 403 gets mounted. Can someone please help tell me what the two plugs on the top of the junction box go to, as well as the two plugs going out from the bottom of that junction box go to?
In short, can I swap out the newer 403 VesselView for the older SystemView using the old junction box that was behind the dash, and still have the analogue gauges work as well as the gauges for both engines being visible on the new 403? Thanks.
Any guidance is greatly appreciated.
