    How To Plug An Old Engine Into NMEA 2K

    In reality, I think your going to find the digital data is not as accurate nor up to date, as the "instantaneous" analog signal;) The resolution and averaging times of A/D converters is no where near that of analog. To this, you have to include the update rate of the NMEA link and the update...

    Gateway not storing fuel used

    No idea what a FDM is, but you need to input how much fuel is in the tank as part of setup. Unless you have a tank level input, the motor has no clue as to how much fuel in the tank. You need to enter the amount of fuel you put in the tank each and every time you put fuel in the tank

    Unless I'm heading offshore to fish or destination boating, I typically burn 25-30 gallons a trip. Half tank keeps the weight down yet gives a 50% reserve just in case
