Topic: New Merc Thermostats | Bass Cat

Does anyone know if the new V8 Pro XS 250's are as bad about getting small debris hung in the thermostats as the 2 stroke Pro XS? I've pulled very small debris from my 14 model 250 several times. I've even got trash in mine after running on clean lakes like Greers Ferry. Must have run over a floating leaf or something. Hoping Mercury resolved this issue.

I had a 6 beep alarm earlier this year on my 2015 Pro XS 200 , while idling, with debris in a thermostat. My dash is full, so don’t think I have room to add a MercMonitor. I was wondering about going with the Mobile Vesselview, to monitor engine data. It shows that I will be able to see live engine temp. Has anyone had any experience with this product/app ? Thanks..

I had the Vessel View Link added to my 2016 250 ProXS, it was great, everything will display right up on your Lowrance, you can add data to your normal sonar and chart pages

Mike, I was thinking more about the Mobile Vesselview product, because the ease of install. But you do raise a good thought. I do have the Lowrance Gen 2 touch units on my P2, but I don’t have the NMEA backbone installed. Out of curiosity, what was the ball park cost of having your setup added ?

I think it was 600 and the nmea backbone is useful for a point 1 antenna as well.
