Help with Smartcraft Gauge Speedo

Need help getting Smartcraft Speedo gauge to work on my new boat. I have analog Speedo and Tach gauges with ggital windows. The Speedo gauge is dead. It needs to have input from the GPS puck, but I cannot figure it out. The gauge does not offer an option to accept a GPS signal. My gut tells me it is a NMEA 2000 issue or something aimilar. Any help would surely be appreciated.

Mike,

They need to be connected via NMEA0183. The power wire from graph should have a brown, blue pair of wires for NMEA0183.

Since the smartcraft gauge is RX only (receive – no transmit TX), connect the blue wire to pin 8 on the smart craft. The gauge should have a few tag end wires coming out of the back. The orange wire will be pin 8. If the wires are no there, it would be the top left pin (verify that with smart craft manual).
