I have been trying to locate clear photos of each to be able to distinguish between them. ALSO understand that with the MercAha ...Smartcraft Electronics could not be used ... but they were used once the Veradito was introduced to the Montauk 170. Is that correct?

If the engine in question is 2005, it is a Mercaha. The all-Mercury engines from 2006 was Smartcraft compatible. 1992 Outrage 17 I 2019 E-TEC 90, Viper 17 2+ 2018 Load Rite Elite 18280096VT
