Re: fuel manager

Not a fan of a units that don't interface with GPS to relate fuel consumption to distance. Travel times vary, distances don't

Once you see how much gas you are using you will kick your self in the arse for spending the money.

I have the Garmin GFS-10 interfaced to a Garmin 4208 chart plotter. Lots of functionally and very accurate. The only downside is you have to install a NMEA2000 backbone (~$80) to connect the sensor to the unit.

yes I had one of these faria Euro ones fitted to my new Stingray 4 years ago- No problems- wouldn't be without one of these things now- seems accurate, gives me instant gph, total fuel remaining, fuel used and trip fuel used- Great little gadget..
