Fuel flow sensor
Submitted by hornet42 on Fri, 2014-06-20 13:49
Hi has anyone hooked a fuel flow sensor to there Garmin 750s and if so which one have you used the guys at whitworths said to call Garmin but havn't heard back.
I know i need to use the NMEA2000 back bone system and get a starter kit to power up the system.
I have since been on a Garmin website and it all looks simple anything to watch out for.
Thanks

I have!
Hi Hornet,
I've the same config - my scenario was a little different in that I had an existing flow sensor that interfaced with a sounder unit that I was replacing. I sourced mine from All Boats (convenience) and if I remember it took about an hour all up to get installed. The instructions are pretty clear and with a bit of logic it's an easy enough process to install both the sensor and the NMEA network.
Remember to calibrate the sensor before installing (google for different ways to do it) but I've found it to be accurate out the box and more accurate/realistic than the one I was replacing.
Good luck
