Default engine monitoring with raymarine and crusader engines?

Bill,

The EP-15 simply connects to the teminals at the existing sending unit. A
very simple connect. A visit to the Lowrance web site might be worthwhile.

I understand some folks are converting the Lowrance connectors to Micro-C
connectors. I believe this is discussed on THT thehulltruth.com in the
electronics forum at some length. Take a look.

If fuel flow is your concern you might look into the Lowrance EP-10 which

is
an NMEA 2000 fuel flow device which inputs data to Lowrance displays.
Perhaps other displays as well??? It's cost is about US$ 50. It is a
turbine device which taps into the fuel line going to the engine.


Anything other than the Lowrance EP-10? It would appear they're using
their
own form of NMEA cabling. While adapters do appear to be available it
sort
of makes sense to just use stuff that's got standard Micro-C connectors on
them already.

There is
also an EP-15 which converts fuel level to NMEA 2000 data. It hooks up
to
the sending unit and also reads out on a Lowarance display.


Does this work with the existing way the tank level is monitored? As in,
am
I just patching into the wire, not installing something else in the tanks?
