I have vessel view race edition with the mercury ambient temp sensor drilled into the fiberglass, upgrading to a simrad display with the vessel view link and N2K network. had anybody done this and found a way to use the mercury ambient sensor? sensor is part number 889575 and has a 2 terminal connector, I called mercury 3 times and 2 tech guys said there is no way to integrate the old sensor into the new network and to buy a sensor that plugs right into the N2K network, and 1 tech guy said to purchase two vessel view 4 harnesses part number 8M0075065 and 8M0075066 and it will plug in. does anybody have any insight to this? (or these harnesses laying around they want to sell cheap)
thanks
