Hey there,
I am looking at buying the Lowrance HDS5 Fishfinder/chartplotter. I am also interested in the fuel flow sensor and I have a couple of questions.
1) There is nothing else I will be connecting to the unit so can i connect the fuel flow sensor directly to the unit, or do I need to set up a NMEA network and connect both to that?
2) The boat is a twin screw and everywhere I have looked says I need 2 fuel flow sensors, one for each engine, but I had been planning on attaching the sensor to a hose directly off my tank, before the filter and before the split for each engine. Is this a bad idea and why?
Appreciate any help you can give me
