Being equipped with a Thunderbolt ignition tells me it’s a carburetor engine and not MPI so no it’s not compatible with vessel view to my knowledge.

Mike is correct....I have a 1995 2400 SCR.* In 2008 I re powered with a Mercruiser Horizon 350 MPI FWC. The deal was too good to pass up.* Seacore is now the designated model for stern drives with FWC.

Four years ago I added the Smartcraft Merc Monitor that is similar to Vessel View.* Great gadget that connects directly to the ECM. It shows real time fuel flow , trip fuel use, impeller water pressure, fuel, oil pressure, speed tachometer, hour meter, temperature and much more.* They are around $475.00 but well worth the expense for the total accuracy of the readouts...
