It is not clear from the instructions how to fit just the speed sensor (paddle wheel). I'll post pictures of the instructions later this evening.Ģ) The speed sensor instructions also include a depth transducer, which I do not have (wasn't in the kit). Unfortunately the instructions don't give any clues here. It is worth noting that I have already fitted a water pressure sensor to the top of the engine, just behind the fly wheel so it may be that this sensor is not for this engine. I guess it could be under the lower cowl/leg cover, but want to confirm this before taking any more off the engine. An exhaust manifold is shown, along with a cooling water pipe, but these do not match my engine and there is no tapping point or harness close by.
This has been no problem for most of them but I have a few questions I'm hoping somebody can help with.ġ) There is a digital block pressure sensor (8M0059531) to go on but the image in the instructions doesn't seem to match the engine. The only down side is that the smartcraft comes as a kit, not installed, and requires me to add numerous sensors to the engine with slightly iffy instructions. It is a beautiful engine, and a great deal lighter than the old 4 stroke and the optimax at just 163kg. At the end of last year I received a new Merc 115 EFI 4 stroke (the new model 2.1l) with the smartcraft upgrade.
