Hi there
Despite being a 20 year veteran of the Coast Guard, I was a helo pilot, and this is my first "big" boat. It's a 2000 Chris Craft with dual Volvo Penta 5.7L Gsi engines.
I have a Garmin radar and navigation system, and it would be great to find a way to use those displays to show engine information--though not a Coastie boat guy, I do have a PhD in Aerospace propulsion design So, I like to know exactly what;s going on with the egines.
At this point, I wouldn't mind a simple add on system that let me monitor the engines similar to a cars OBD-II system.
Can anyone help guide me here? I would really appreciate it. I tried to search, but at this point, I don't know what to search for!!
Thanks,
