Display for Smart Shunt and Orion XS

Hi,

Finishing a boat install. I have an Orion XS hooked to my AGM starting battery to charge my lithium house battery. I'm also looking to install some sort of shunt on my house battery to monitor loads. I the bluetooth phone ap side of everything, but it would be nice to have a dedicated display just for voltage, loads, etc. Sometimes in rough water getting your phone out is a chore and it would be nice to have display.

First, which display(s) will work with the IP65 or regular smart shunt and Orion XS. OR..... should I just get the BMV-712 battery monitor? Seems like if I want a display, getting the BMW-712 might be better? The shunt will be 25' from where the display will be, if that plays any role since there could be voltage drop over that distance.

Second, i have Simrad and Mercury displays. Is there a way to connect the SmartShunt directly to the Mercury display?

Thanks

Sean
