Default Verado boost pressure on HDS Live

Morning!

I have a Lowrance HDS 12 Live that I set up to monitor the performance of the Merc Verado on my boat via Smartcraft. Last fall when I brought the boat home to store for the year, the HDS unit wanted to download an update, so I let that happen.

Last year I was able to see the boost pressure within the main engine screen, and smaller screens among the usual information. After the update boost pressure is nowhere to be found. I check within the settings for engine, and Mercury, and the boost pressure is checked as being on.

Has anyone else seen this? Not that big of an issue, but it is cool to see the boost that the motor is attaining.

Thanks!
Redwood now Alaska

If it is anything like the Humminbird you need to configure the "screen group" on the display to show you various feeds. It does not seem to save this after update so I needed to reconfigure mine.

Redwood, when you attempt to add it to the gauge layout, make sure the key is on (doesn't have to run) so the data is being fed and you can select it from the engine data.

shewstring is correct, but also make sure your NEMA is also powered on.
