fin-addict Posted May 8, 2019 Report Share Posted May 8, 2019 As much as my gas gauge tells me there is. I’m a believer. Dip sticks are the best, they don’t lie and never change or break. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have racked my brain on the internet to no avail. It appears from what I have put together that I would still need a "paddle wheel" sender in the fuel line after the filter to make this work. I may be wrong...., or, is there a pigtail on the outboard motor that can be connected with the GPS unit in order to convey the information on fuel use for the HPDI. If anyone can chime in that knows the answer or an alternative solution to get fuel flow data it would be great. It seems that the NAVMAN 2100 fuel metering system would have been the dedicated solution, but they have stopped making those gauges for years.

George Seither Posted May 10, 2019 Report Share Posted May 10, 2019 JT you looked at this? Garmin Flow Meter but I would call Garmin on the engine adapter cable https://g.factoryoutletstore.com/details/11303/garmin-gfs-10.html?category_id=19677&catalogitemid=12693 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VS-MasterAngler Posted May 11, 2019 Report Share Posted May 11, 2019 On 5/7/2019 at 3:05 PM, jason p said: I had a engine data cable I got from BOE on the HPX. It plugs into the diagnostic port of the motor and displays on your GPS via NMEA 2000 network. Reads fuel flow to the injectors from the ECU, gives MPG, remaining fuel, burn rate, etc... as well as water temp, pressure, oil pressure, etc... Was this difficult to set up or did you have your local dealer do it for you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason p Posted May 11, 2019 Report Share Posted May 11, 2019 It’s really easy, you need to buy a NMEA 2000 starter kit which will have the power cable and a “T fitting” then everything else you want plugs into the powered T fitting via more T fittings (one T fitting per component). Super clean since one power wire runs everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT Quinta Posted May 14, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2019 Thanks Gents..., problem may be solved with the NMEA 2000 starter kit noted above and the Garmin in line paddle wheel. My screen on the Garmin is 7" and I have no idea how the flow is displayed on the Sonar / GPS unit. I also am looking into connecting straight into the Yami 250 with a separate dash gauge.

jason p Posted May 15, 2019 Report Share Posted May 15, 2019 If BOE or anyone else has a data cable for your motor I’d go that route. Much simpler instal and you get other engine info as well. When the grass was really bad in FL Bay I’d leave my engine gauges displayed so I could use engine temp to monitor how much grass was on the lower unit and remove it before I got the buzzer.
