Ref. Tools Description
1. 3/8” Nut Driver
Disconnect the battery during installation. Tighten nuts on the backclamp only
slightly more than you can tighten with your fingers. Six inch-pounds of torque
are sufficient. Over-tightening could result in damage to the instrument and
may void your warranty.
Figure 1
Use this manual for the SmartCraft™ MG2000™ Tachometer.
Tools Required
Cut a 3-3/8” diameter hole in the
dash for the 4” gauge. Mount the
gauge with the backclamp supplied.
Cut a 4-3/8” diameter hole in the
dash for the 5” gauge.
Small Connector Socket
Follow the wiring diagram at the end
of this manual for connections. (See
page 53)
Large Connector Socket
Follow the wiring diagram at the end
of this manual for connections. (See

MG2000™ Tachometer Manual
Specifications:
SmartCraft™ bus.
• Analog signal inputs for: fuel level
sender (low fuel warning based on the
sender), trim sender, on the MG2000
tachometer.
• 1 Pressure port for: engine water
pressure on the MG2000 tachometer.
• 1 NMEA 0183 (version 3.01) GPS signal
input for: clock, boat/vessel speed,
position, and heading.
• 128 x 128 graphic dot-matrix LCD
display.
• Auxiliary gauge communication: Faria
serial bus (RS485/SAE J1708) from the
MG2000 tachometer
• Operation voltage: 12 vDC or 24 vDC
• Operation temperature: -20 ºC to 70 ºC
• Storage temperature: -30 ºC to 80 ºC
Nominal current draw (tachometer,
speedometer, and five 2” gauges with
lights on maximum level): 420 mA.
The MG2000 combines the features of
an ECU serial bus gateway and several
instruments into one unit:
• The tachometer is analog in
appearance but is driven by a
stepper motor for digital accuracy.
VOLT
13.6 VOLTS
Trim
The LCD display
• The high resolution LCD screen
displays information for many other
functions. As received, the screens
are configured as shown in the
default screens. Figure 2 shows the
sequence of the screens.
VOLT
13.6 VOLTS
Trim
Example of digital screen.
The MG2000 receives digital engine and
sensor data from the Engine Control Unit
(ECU) via the bus and can receive GPS
information via a NMEA 0183 connection
to a suitable GPS unit. GPS information
is displayed in the MG2000 speedometer
for use with the SmartCraft Tachometer.
The MG2000 tachometer provides a
Faria Bus output to allow use of various
other 5, 4, and 2 inch instruments.
If connected properly (see wiring
diagrams at the back of this manual.) the
MG2000 tachometer will turn on when
the ignition key is turned on and will turn
off when the ignition key is turned off.
See the “Normal” mode section of this
manual for initial screen information.
The instrument has three push buttons;
“M” (Mode), “Down”, and “Up” that
control the functions available.
In the “Normal” mode, pressing the
“Down” or “Up” buttons causes the
display to cycle between the available
screens (see Figure 2, page 11).
In “Normal” mode, pressing the “Mode”
and “Up” buttons together will put the
MG2000 into the “Edit” mode (see Edit
mode, page 12).

and
Operation
Normal Mode
When the MG2000 is turned on, the unit
enters “Self Test” mode. The following
screen will be displayed for 10 seconds.
™
Networked
The horn will sound once, the warning
lights will flash, and the backlights will
flash. When this is complete, this screen
will appear for 2 seconds.
Note: If the key is turned on to the “accessory”
position and therefore there is no data being
received from the ECU the “ECU Data Error”
warnings will appear. This is normal as the
engine is not running.
Once the engine is running, the “Default”
screen will appear. If the “ECU Data Error”
warning continues to appear after the engine
is running, check all connections between
the engine and the MG2000.
The MG2000 then enters the “Normal”
mode.
Lighting
Brightness Mode
In the “Normal” mode, to adjust the
lighting intensity of all of the instruments
connected to the MG2000 tachometer
press the “Mode” button.
In the “Bightness” mode, the lighting
intensity can be changed by using the
“Down” or “Up” buttons.
Or
Contrast Mode
To enter the “Contrast” mode press the
“Mode” button, from the “Brightness”
mode. (To change the contrast from the
“Normal” mode press the “Mode” button
twice.)
In the “Contrast” mode the MG2000
display contrast can be adjusted by
pressing the “Down” or “Up” buttons.
Or
With the display in “Positive” mode, black
text on a white background, pressing the
“Down” button decreases the contrast
(make the text appear less dark).

Pressing the “Up” button increases
contrast (making the text appear more

decreases the contrast (make the text
appear more dark).
To return to “Positive” mode, continue to
press the “Down” button until the display
reverses.
Troll Control
The “Troll Control” function allows the
operator to set the engine RPM or the
boat speed and have the engine maintain
the RPM or speed setting automatically.
The SmartCraft paddle wheel option
must be installed on the boat for the
“Troll Control” function to operate. The
upper and lower limits for these functions
are preset in the engine ECU and can not
be changed by the operator. For the troll
control function to operate the engine
control MUST be “In Gear” and at “Idle”.
To use the “Troll Control” function, from
“Normal” mode, press and hold both the
“Up” and “Down” buttons until the screen
changes to the Troll mode.

Adjust the RPM or speed setting using
the “Up” and “Down” buttons until the
desired setting is obtained. The control
will maintain the set RPM or speed
automatically (between the set limits).
and
There is no manual way to return to the
“Normal” mode from the “Toll Control”
mode, if no buttons are pressed for 10
seconds the unit will automatically return
to the “Normal” mode. Troll control will
continue to work until you manually turn
it off.
Note: The engine control must be “In Gear”
and set to “Idle” for the troll control to function.
The “Not in Gear” or “Not in Idle” (not shown)
screens will appear if these conditions have
not been met. The “No Paddle Sig” screen
will appear if there is no paddle wheel
signal for the troll function. Troll Control
requires engine support; please make sure a
Mercury® SmartCraft™ engine with the Troll
function has been installed.
When the Troll Control is on, the warning
LED’s will flash once every 20 seconds.
This indicates that the Troll Control is
active.
Tachometer
The tachometer is a digital instrument
with the appearance of an analog
instrument. A microprocessor controlled
stepper motor moves the pointer to
display engine revolutions per minute.
A digital LCD display is used to show
various digital information received from
the engine ECU. There are 13 default
screens used. A brief discussion of the
default displays follows. Your default
screens may differ based on the type of
engine you have installed. Use the table
at the beginning of the manual to see
what defaults you may have.

is called the “Transition Point”. The user
can adjust the “Transition Point” in the
