Mercury Smartcraft Speedo

[CBBeaty]

My Smartcraft speedo went dead after the installation of the TZT22X (replacing my TZT2's). Is there a setting in the 22X I need to bring the speedo back to life?

You likely would need to talk to Mercury and see what information is needed and how it needs it provided. Many take 0183 and needs SOG/COG to use. Your previous system might have had 0183 wired over and it might be that you need to do that same wiring from the 0183 data of the 22X to provide the Mercury what it needs. When the older system was removed its 0183 wiring likely was disconnected and no one moved that over to the 22X and turned on the needed 0183 output sentences. The optional multi-cable is likely needed for your 22X and then wire it up and turn on the needed data to output.

I was in settings on the 22X and list of sensors and I do see an 0183 section. That said there were lots of other options not turned on under the GP330B sensor list. The speedo is set to external gps. What part number is the multi cable?

The part number for the multi cable is:

001-647-020-00​

Here is the Multi-Cable wiring diagram from the back of the XL installation manual:
