my 2017 345 Conquest came with the Nauti-On monitoring system installed. A few years ago use of that system switched over from stand-alone to integration with the BW My Whaler app. Now, the BW My Whaler app only appears to recognize monitoring data only if I installed the "VesselView Mobile" device. Even if I go through the expense of adding the VesselView mobile (relatively inexpensive by itself but need to purchase a larger junction box to provide the point to connect the new device, etc. etc.). Additionally, I would lose a number of Nauti-On monitoring pioints that are independent of the Mercury system (i.e., bilges pumps, etc.). Has Nauti-On system installed by BW now not supported by any method on my Conquest? Any App or method to monitor the Nauti-On data? Funny thing is if you got to Nauti-On (owned by Brunswick by the way) they don't support BW and tell you tyo go to the MyWhaler app. The MyWhaler app doesn't appear to the Nauti-on stytem any longer. Do I now have a Nauit-on system that's totally useless?

I just purchased a new conquest 405 and I can’t seem to get my boat data to appear on the MyWhaler app. Did you figure out how to get it up and running again?

Congrats on your new Whaler. However, I'm hoping they've made VAST (and I mean VAST) improvements in this system if Whaler is still using the 'Nauti-On' on platform. I still can find little to know information about its workings anywhere. MyWhaler app even now tells me I need to have the Mercury vesselview mobile module installed. That of course would only give me engine information and not any data from the myriad of 'Nauti-On' monitors installed on my boat (bilge pumps, batteries, etc.). My gut feel is that BW made moves, like purchasing the 'Nauti-On' company, and then said, lets see what we can do with this, and did not make any considerations as to 'lets make sure it keeps working and provide support for all the older whaler installations. VERY frustrating for both myself and many reputable mechanics & vendors I've had trying to help me resolve the issue. Of course, BW themselves gives little to no recommendations other than take it to an authorized dealer, who then scratch their heads. I'm sure with a new model like you've purchased you likely have a lot more clout (i.e., warranty) but for us older model guys, we're out in the wind. Lastly, I've spent too many countless hours and numerous $$$ to try and get this system working -- its now disconnected so as not to continue to be a drain the batteries for a system that doesn't provide any monitoring. Best of luck!
