I would like to buy the engine interface cable and connect my F90 to my Lowrance LMS 522C. Lowrance tech support tells me that if I do this I can see fuel used or fuel remaining by setting it up from the "Overlay Data" menu. Others have told me this doesn't work. Does anyone have experience with this setup? Thanks.

Those values need to have a place to be written and saved. I am not sure if the 522C has memory. I bought a LMF-400 guage and hooked it up to a 2006 Yami F115 with the EP-20 Yami Wire. It worked flawlessly but it would not store Fuel Used, Trip fuel used, and fuel remaining. The just blinked. I ended up purchasing the memory storage module , an EP-85R, I believe. Lowrance does not sell them outright but you can buy one from evinrude for around $63.00. The evinrude part number is 763704 and they call it a Fuel memory Module. It seems the Evinrude I-Command gauges and components are nothing but the Lowrance stuff rebranded. Once I put that inline on the NMEA 200 network those values stopped blinking and were recorded and kept. If the 522C has the memory storage capacity then it should work. Email me if you have any questions. I may be able to help.

Once in the while my remaining fuel would blink ( displaying tank volume
Do you have the same problem with your F115 ? I have 2007 F60, LMF200, LMF400 and the storage module. Also the LMF400 restarts when I crank the engine but LMF200 doesn't.

Hello, I was just wondering if you were ever able to get this to work? I have a 2004 4s F90 Yamaha and I bought the Lowrance interface cable. Now, I cannot find the connector to attach it to the engine?
