I have some issues with my new to me motors and my smartcraft 8.0 gauges. I just installed a pair of merc 115’s, the starboard motor hooked up fine with my gauge but the port counter rotating motor is giving me a lost communication error, I’m assuming it’s because my old port motor was RH. I tried doing a system reset but I’m still getting this message, now it just says starboard motor not detected.
Do I need someone with a mercury diagnostic scanner or is this something I can do myself with my gauge buttons?
 
I know my motor I fought the same thing I ended up buying some software online diacom to do my own programming and I can pull up my codes and test. It’s not cheap but well worth it. I am a true mercury fan so I don’t need to worry about having to buy different software.
