Anyone had luck finding where you can toggle to Sport Mode on the Verado in your Simrad? I've tried everything I've seen online and every drill-down on the menus but cannot locate it...
 
I have an engine tab on the left side of my simrad . Ill check to see if I have any pics .
 
I put mine in sport mode and left it . I believe it's the Mercury tab

Yes I think the issue is I don't have "Vessel Control" loaded in the Simrad. Tried to download the Mercury VesselView app and connect it to the Simrad but couldn't get it to work either. I'll see again on the boat this afternoon...
 
Clicked every button – nothing!

I saw mercury at the top right of your screen.
You can call Mercury, I don't have the number with with me now ( on the lake ) ,but do a search in the upper right for Mercury phone number. Start there to find out if anything needs to be added and speak to your dealer.
 
I just came in and noticed there are a couple Mercury tabs , im sure you tried those.
 
Yes all the screen shots above are from those menus
 
Okay figured it out and it's related to the newest Simrad NSX unit/software. There is no longer a "Vessel Control" in the newer streamlined version. Did some deep AI research to find out that with the new set-up, my Simrad is reading the engine data but can't send commands back to the engine (e.g. to unlock Sport Mode) unless you install one of these:

I don't think Bennington even realized this issue (specifically w/ the new Simrad NSX paried w/Verado 300-425s) until I contacted them
 
Yes I sent an email explaining that without them adding this part, I was permanently locked out of sport mode on my new engine, so they agreed to have the dealer order the part and install it
 
There are most likely other features you are missing without it, if you can't send commands back to your engine
