Fuel Flow Sensor

[Hayden]

I have a 2009 23ft Pro-line w a 200 Honda and was thinking of adding a fuel flow meter to it, I was wondering if anyone could recommend what kind and how hard it is to install.

I have a Floscan cruisemaster 5500. Model# 5532-20B-1. Was not that hard to install. Min skill level required.

Your Honda should be pre wired for a fuel monitor. Honda has a Gage that does it all and it is VERY accurate because it works off of the Injectors and timing of the motor.

It isn't cheap [ about $700.00 ] but it does more that watch the fuel. Check with a Honda dealer to see if your wiring harness is ready for it , most are.

I don't know if they have an interface module for the Honda, but the lowrance LMF-400 is a neat little gauge that will take fuel flow off the engines cpu w/o the proper wiring harness and the unit and harness can be had for ~$250 (maybe more since I got mine a few years ago). I've found the fuel burn to be pretty much spot on with my suzuki 140. And you can program in a correction factor after you've run a few trips.

It installs in a std tachometer cutout, and you just need to run the cabling to your engine, and power to the unit. You do have to set it up to let it know what engine you are using, fuel tank(s) size and then you can make custom screens to display the information. I basically use two screens, one for the tach/temp, one with the fuel burn. If you have a NMEA 2000 gps, you can tie that in and it will give you mileage by calculating your fuel burn vs. speed.

Flowscans are about $250 and easy to install.
