Sure you do! Use an ohms meter and see what you are reading. Disconnect one sending wire first just in case the guage adds any resistances.

I down loaded the manual on the Lowrance Fluid Level Sensor. Most likely, I would say yes. But I would do a temp install to see if it would work. "Compatible with most sending units that are calibrated between 33 and 240 ohm." Just make sure your sending unit will work within that range.

Great pics Sunset is a good time to take pics.

Yes, engine data only. But they do make NMEA2k fuel senders. Personally, I would not bother. To me, its the engine data I would want. If your really into it. I would remove all the gauges, and go with 2 MFD as large as I could fit. One screen as a chart plotter and the other for engine. Than...

I was not sure it could be done on your engine given the age. But glad to hear it looks good. Just an FYI for others. On my Sig 290 2011, just after the warrantee rain out. The RPM gauge stopped working on both engines. Now this was a $900 replacement cost. At the time, the gateway was a cost...

Yep, it passes salt water though a membrane at 800PSI to remove the salt. Along with 3 filters to remover anything else. To put it simply.

I would think, for a engine to be compatible it need to be completely computerized. I know that Volvo went that way around 2010. I bought a getaway from Yachts Devices https://www.yachtd.com/ for my 2011 Sig 290. It worked out great. I would talk to them and see what they can tell you. One...

Chain is key for a good anchor rode. For your back, I would buy a windless.

Yep, As I mentioned, a in line fuel sensor and the simrad unit should display GPH rate. AND with that I think it will tell you how much fuel is left.

"I don’t see adding baffles as a practical solution" Its not! But its true and a joke. You could add a sight glass. It is one of the best ways.

A VHF might be better.

On that note. I connected a fuel sensor to the fuel line and had the GPS read out GPH. That did two things, my GPH rate plus to find the best KPH rate to save on fuel.

I am not surprised at all. I have had about 6 small boat from different builders with the same problem. The only 2 ways to get a good reading is. 1. have the boat motionless for 2 or more minutes. 2. add baffles to the tank to stop the gas from going side to side in the tank. What I always did...

As the 3 stooges would say. Garslow Or in other words, go slow.

Than you will love AIS.

Thats what I like! Going to different places. Just be safe out there. I worry about you small boaters. I was one! I first installed a VHF, than radar and more. There are some great tools out there.

I must have had a bad day yesterday. I meant to post this on the trawler forum. No disrespect to all the boaters here!! But most are lake boaters that would not need a water maker. The wife is retiring next spring. The plan is to take the boat and go south for the following winter. Fuel with...

The fact that you are turning off and on the power.

I plan on adding a water maker for next season. Looking at Parker, Spectra and US Watermaker. They all have pros and cons but leaning towards US Watermaker. US Watermaker Clearwater is expandable from 400 to 1500 GPD by changing the tubes. Small in size/foot print. 120V @ 18A Parker Pro Mini...

You can buy some lights that by turning them off and back on. You cycle though the colors. No brainbox or controller. That could be the case. I have had them on my but from red to white for night time. Why rewire?
