Fishhunter drive with suzuki, gateway question

[SeifAb]

Hello,

I’m trying to get the FishHunter Drive working with my Suzuki setup. My current configuration is:

• Suzuki DF140BG with SMG4 gauge
• Furuno TZT10XL MFD
• NavPilot 300 with SCX-20
• FAP-AR4502

From what I understand, I am missing the Suzuki Gateway 34923-96L13, which also requires a specific software version to work with the system.

My question is: does anyone know which software version or update is required for the Suzuki Gateway? I have already contacted Suzuki, but I haven’t received a reply yet.

I also read that an SMD7 or SMD9 display is normally required to configure the gateway. Unfortunately, that is not an option for me.

Is it possible to configure the gateway using my Furuno TZT10XL, perhaps through the Suzuki mode, or is an SMD display absolutely required?

Thank you.

When you put the TZTXL unit into Suzuki mode via the service menu it will unlock menu items that will allow you to setup for Suzuki FishHunter the same as having the SMD7/SMD9/SMD12/SMD16 unit(s). The SMG4 is a bit useless in that regard. @FishTech is a bit more up to speed on this than I. Maybe he can comment further.

@Johnny Electron is correct. Furthermore, if the SMG4 remains onboard it can cause unwanted effects. Suzuki has stated that they do not want SMG4s in the mix with the Suzuki 4-Tank Gateway because it is a gateway, and the SMG4s are gateways. It will create conflicts.
