I just bought the Smartcraft SC1000 system Tach and Speedo. I am wondering if anyone has experience hooking these up. I have a 496 mag with a Bravo 1 and I am currently using the speed pickup in the drive however I am not sure how this makes it back to my gauge which is currently a Faria. I guess my question is how do I interface the bravo 1 speed pickup to the new smartcraft gauges? Also I am wondering if there is anything special I need to do to interface my fuel sender? I am also looking for a link that would have installation instructions so I can study them while I am waiting for my gauges to arrive.
Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

If you are doing it yourself, I would suggest ordering the "Smartcraft Application and Display Products Technical Guide" from your Mercury Dealer.
The part number is 90-891965 and is about $25. Well worth it. You can get the users manual at Mercury's website but it doesn't tell you what components you need, the manual above will. The link below is for progarmming only.

Here is a site with some good info boatered.com (http://www.boatered.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=75567). It also says there is no install manual unless you pay for it. Merc's site has the user manual which includes the calibration instructions as posted above.
