I have it and wish I would've bought the Smarcraft tach instead.
The app is very glitchy and doesn't work sometimes. Have to close and restart it before it will connect. The trouble code function is next to useless since Vesselview codes do not correspond to anything in service information. Only a dealer can cross them over to the actual code for troubleshooting. For that purpose it's only one step above useless.
Being able to view temp, oil pressure, RPM, etc. is nice and all but i bought it mostly for trouble codes.
Smartcraft is only a little more expensive than VV, will do all the same stuff, can show the actual code when an issue pops up, works as a traditional tach, and will also allow you to network with these bigger graphs and display all of the engine information on them.
You can also run a standard tach on them just fine, you'll need to tap into the right wire on the Smartcraft connector at the control box.
Vesselview is only compatible with 2004 and newer 40hp+ Mercs. Yamaha and Suzuki have their own setup that is similar to Smartcraft.
I bought this. It tells me how many hours I’ have on the motor!

I've had it on 2 boats now and love it! Just make sure it's compatible with your motor
Smart craft is definitely better than vessel view I put my motor on a pontoon an I would have had to redo my dash to make the gauge work an this was last spring you could not find a smart craft gauge on back order with everything else at the time all gauges made was going on new boats. So I went with vessel view. The first one did give me some problem logging in an they gave me a new one it works good we have it connected to 3 different phones

I have it on a 2015 60hp command thrust. It does give a wealth of information. The app is also glitchy as stated above
Haven’t y’all seen the commercials where the little girl goes an gets her grandpa out of the nursing home for the day in the pontoon boat? All possible because of vessel view!!!!!!
I’ve got it on mine. Kind a like that Dos Equis guy.
I don’t use it often but when I do it’s nice!
No glitches for me and haven’t had a trouble code to verify yet. I use it for temps, pressures, speed, rpm, and of course hours.
Very simple to install.
