SmartCraft juncion box

[Fun Times]

From a webshop 859318T2 seems to be both weather cap and termination - however, I won't need it anyway.

That website "product details" seems to be misleading, Part number 859318T2 is a weather cap and part number 859318T1 is a junction box terminator resistor.:wink::smt001

Finally fair temperatures has reached Stockholm and my "baby" Sundancer has found it's way back to it's correct element.

During the winter I've reconfigured my dash layout and added a MercMonitor ECO and installed a junctionbox. The SmartCraft displays works fine but the system link gauges are giving me a headache.
In the current configuration I have two instrument clusters, one on the starboard side with MercMonitor + Trim and Fuel and the port side with SC1000 Tach + Oil Pressure and Temp. From the junctionbox there is a harness feeding each SmartCraft display and with a system link drop cable for the analog gauges.

My problem is that I can't get Oil Pressure and Temp to wake up if I don't link them directly to Trim and Fuel. Seems like system link only works from one harness at a time? Since the clusters are to far away to connect them with their system link cables I need to extend the system link in some way - is there an extention cable available or should I cut and extend the system link wires? All advice more than welcome!

Replying to myself. I got the advice to try shifting ports for the SC drop cables on the junctionbox and that did the trick. All gauges are alive!

Yes there is system link extension cables in different lengths.

Best person i've been in contact with about smartcraft is Don Weed at http://www.europeanmarine.org/home.html

Very knowledgable and can get you what you need and prices seem very reasonable.

Im about ready to order a mercmonitor and system link gauges from there.
