Lowrance HDS Gen3 and HDS Gen2 Touch displays to offer fully integrated Mercury engine data

Lowrance, Navico’s fishing electronics brand, has announced that its full line of Lowrance HDS Gen3 and HDS Gen2 Touch multifunction displays are to receive a software upgrade that adds powerful functionality with the recently introduced Mercury VesselView Link module.

The upgrade will provide boaters with fully integrated Mercury engine data combined with their chartplotter, sounder or radar display.

“As the fully integrated ‘connected boats’ becomes more of a reality, developing strong ties with engine and boat manufacturers is vital for continued success,” says Leif Ottosson, Navico CEO.

“Working together with Mercury, we are able to offer anglers a simplified approach to data management,” he adds. “Now information from radar, sonar, gauges, engine controls, and more, can all be viewed on one screen, minimising distractions for captains and simplifying the boating experience.”

In addition, Mercury has also announced a new line of 5in and 7in VesselView gauges – the VesselView 502 and VesselView 702 – that will complement the VesselView Link integration with Lowrance HDS Gen3 and HDS Gen2 Touch displays and provide redundancy for added safety and enjoyment on the water.

VesselView Link, which features single- and multiple-engine models with support for up to four SmartCraft engines, will be available in June 2016 from authorised Mercury dealers throughout the US and Canada
