Re: F210 Fuel flow meter

I installed one in my boat and it worked fine. One word of caution regarding the mounting. The transducer is a turbine and very delicate one so the transducer must be mounted such that it cannot vibrate. I mounted in the right rear hatch using a rubber isolator between the transducer and its mounting bracket. Don't have a picture of that installation but here is one with the head unit installed.
