Please note that the PICTURE UPLOAD function is not working. The iBoats Forum Moderators are working with the system administration folks at the parent company to get the issue resolved. This happened about a year ago and here we are again. In the meantime you can post photos as links to a picture hosting site of your choice. We are sorry about the inconvenience and will advise when the issue is resolved. Thank you for your patience.
I would like to get responses from people using fuel flow meter. What brand are your using, which brand do you recommend, and ease of installation? Thanks for all comments.
I have the Flow Scan, Twin Scan series. Sorta complicated wiring but worth every penny. <br /><br />With GPS info, for miles to port, and flow scan telling me MPG, and amount of fuel used, I can almost get every gallon of fuel. Its that accurate. On a 185 gallons it accurate to within less than 2 gallons, usually. I wont normally use that much fuel but on a couple of occassions its been close.
I'm usng the Navman 5500 gps chartplotter with the flow sensor option. Is the cheapest way to go if you have the Navman units, sensor is about US$100.<br /><br />Very simple option to add, connect into the fuel line and wire harness (can't remember 10 or 15ft length) plug connects to the display unit, no additional wires to add or extend.<br /><br />Gives miles/gal, total fuel used, fuel remaining.
