Mercury Marine 2019 VesselView Promotion

[AsLan7]

.
For those interested in linking up their year 2003 and later Mercury marine engine with a Merc smart phone app (free download) via bluetooth, Mercury Marine is discounting the VesselView module for a limited time.

Normally $275, the plug & play module is being sold on the Mercury Marine website for $149.99 with free shipping. I paid $158.99 out the door which included the $9.00 sales tax for Pennsylvania.

Hurry though, the promotion ends after March 31st, 2019.

One module covers many engines.

I spoke with both a customer service rep and a marine tech regarding the 8.1L/496 cubic inch Mercs since compatibility was not listed on the Merc site for this particular engine. Fear not, just an oversight. It will work just fine if you have this powerplant.

Here's the link.....

Merc Vessel View Promo

A big shout out to Samuri33 for making me aware of this promo today. I immediately ordered one (as did he) for our 260 series.

Ha
That’s funny.
A “sale” every month AJC. Gotta love Merc marketing.

Actually the new news for me was the 496 engine application being confirmed by Samuri33. The 496/8.1L is not shown on the site as compatible. When he texted me that he confirmed it was after his discussion with the Merc techs, I jumped on it.

Roger that. I look forward to your findings my friend.
I’ve downloaded the app but will not be able to “test” until May.

Thanks AJ.. Ive seen that it.. unfortunately it doesn’t support the 8.1 D series that I have. It would be slick right!

BB, myself , and others have Mefi software on our laptops to regularly check settings. And cross your fingers nothings weird every time.

If fox marine gets his stuff working on android I'll add that. Then I can see everything live on my phone.

Although it's almost a tease since I can't do anything with it until our 263 comes out of hibernation in another month.

Can't wait to see how she works and looks.

I'm sure Volvo is working on something like that right now for us poor Volvo souls

Hey.... Mercury must think I have twins! Another VesselView showed up today.

They only charged me for one. When I called them they said the computer system has been accidentally doing that lately.

Honest mistake on their part which they are trying to fix. Asked them for a return label so I could send it back.

Love Mercury products!

I have zero actual need for this - but I want it.

Quick guys help me spend money. There has to be some justification for this purchase I am not thinking of? Ability to yell fuel burn rates to Katie while she is happily cursing around wide open may be enough?

It will tell you how many hours Katie is holding it wide open to catch me
Plus it will tell you how many db's your stereo is putting out. Jeff being a IT guy you have to have the app is cool. You don't even have to plug in the other stuff. That's just a bonus!!
