Boat: 2006 330SS Formula
Engines: Merc 496 mag, DTS, Smartcraft, Bravo 3
So my boat has a Smartcraft sc5000 on the dash, it is suddenly not showing me speed. everything was working fine till last time I ran it. Where should the Smartcraft be getting it's speed data from. It's new boat to me so I'm not sure how to start troubleshooting. Anybody have any ideas?
Thanks,
Aaron

Speed can be from several sources, gps, pitot, wheel. Bravo 3 has the built in pitot tube so that seem likely. There will be a pressure transducer near the transom assembly. Not sure where. If that is bad you should be able to select the gps speed as an option.

I did notice there is a Garmin "puck" tucked up under the dash (looks like a gps antenna)... I don't have any Garmin accessories in the boat. Could that be for the smartcraft? I'll take a look at the link thanks.
