It’s an engine monitoring Bluetooth deal that connects to your motor
Gives info on hours, oil temp, water temp. Etc.

Having an app on your phone to monitor the engine sounds cool. Hopefully when motor gets hot it calls...texts...beeps....all that no matter where you set phone volume at. Hopefully it would make everyones phone on the boat go ape ------ to get your attention BEFORE motor is fried.

Ill stick to checking the dipstick and watching my gauges. Ole tried and true is my route. Modern technology don’t always work as well as, physically, seeing the oil level on the dipstick.

Love the Mercury Vessel Veiw!! It's capabilities are fantastic! Log-in on your phone and it tells you everything! You're hooked-up to a black box attached to the motor. Lots gauges on boats are in error, rpm, speedometers, hour meters, gas gauges and etc., but the vessel view is accurate! You can also mark your good fishing spots, so you can find the exact location later! Let's you know when your motor needs service too!! Had it installed when I bought my new Lowe Fishing Machine! Hasn't failed me yet!! Happy boating and fishing to everyone!!

So you have to “log” into it? No thanks. Got enough eyes on my boat as it is without inviting everyone in cyberspace along.

Kinda like the folks who think Alexa only hears things directly asked of her.

I’ve never been worried about anyone seeing what my water temperature or fuel burn rate is doing.

How about where you’re fishing and what you’re up to?🤔. I had pretty high tech, on-line electronics once and a game warden friend of mine said he knew where I was, what I was catching and when I got there and left, how often I was there and how often I moved locations. That set of gear was sold and I went back to off-line equipment. I’m pretty sure, now days, it’s not real hard to be tracked if you’re on line with your gear. I’m not anymore. I can check the dipstick, listen for odd noises and watch my own critical stuff. Does this new device let you know when a mechanical part is about to fail? Like a piston ring wearing too thin or a crank or rod about to fail? Just curious.

Hey Catfish H! You have down load the Mercury Vessel Veiw app on your phone and then open it up after you start your motor. And, then close it up at the end of your fishing trip after your docked again. Doesn't tell you anything if the motor's not running. And, no I don't think tells you if your going to have something fail in your motor. I don't look at often when I'm running the boat, unless my gas gauge is real low. Then it'll tell me exactly how much gas I have left. Then at the end of the day check my hours. It tells the exact hours the motor has on it unlike a typical hour meter. If you happen to leave your ignition key in the on position of a regular hour meter it shows that as motor running hours. And, if someone can track me through it, I don't give a hoot!! I always run legally and follow all boating and fishing rules! Happy fishing!!
