GPS and Eddie Marine Elite gauges issue

[PA-Checkmate]

Helping a friend out who has a 2009 21 Pulsar BR with Eddie marine elite gauge package. When he purchased the boat GPS didn't work and we think the GPS receiver is missing. We don't have any wiring diagrams and no clue where the GPS receiver is mounted? Everything behind the dash looks connected. EM no longer uses this gauge package anymore. So... does anyone have the wiring diagrams, receiver/antenna location, pictures, or even a receiver/antenna if we do find it missing. And, what are the replacement options if all else falls through?

I'm guessing your helping Kenny... It most likely doesn't have a receiver. My smartcraft had the option of GPS, but I had to buy a livorsi GPS reciever.

Does you boat us the same gauges, if so post a picture and I receiver purchased. I found out the last time up there his doesn't have a MAX MPH feature, which makes it hard to read WOT in the sun(LOL)! I have for fee time this year and plan on visiting your waters more.

I need to save those pages. The boat I got from Wildman didn't come with all the documentation it should have.

That info helps a lot. I called checkmate and found the GPS/antenna should be a small rectangular box about 2 x 3inch. I think it's missing on this boat and would like someone to take a picture of where it connects to the gauge and what the wire colors are. Checkmate also said we could use the one from Livorsi(GPSSQ3)

Time to bring this project back up. Need someone who has the Elite Instruments in their Checkmate. I would like to know the wire color and where they are connected from the GPS antenna/receiver. It may have 4 wires. Pictures would be great.

Thanks

smartcraft can be a cluster**** working with it now, what year ? they are not all the same and some do not interchange, and even merc does not have the answers some times. if you are adding eddie marine gauges I would be talking with them. If you are adding analog gauges to smartcraft merc makes a adapter harness for MOST years, if you are using a aftermarket GPS speedo you will need the antenna that goes with that gauge...if I'm reading correct what you are trying to do...

Wish I could help. I have the Elite gauges but the speedo is still fed by water pressure to a sensor, then fed digitally to the speedo

 

[PA-Checkmate]

Anyone else got time to look and see which wires connect for the GPS speedo?

Mine not easy to see up under the dash. But here is what I used to go by when hooking up my livorsi gps speedo. Also here is link to the antenna I use with it.
