Fuel setup The fuel utility monitors the vessel's fuel consumption. This information is totalled to indicate trip and seasonal fuel usage. Instantaneous fuel usage and boat speed data is used to calculate fuel economy for display on instrument pages and data overlays. To use the utility, a Navico Fuel Flow sensor or a NMEA 2000 engine adaptor cable/gateway with Navico Fuel Data Storage device must be fitted to the vessel. Neither the Navico Fuel Flow sensor, nor the Suzuki engine interface require the use of a seperate Fuel Storage device. Refer to the engine manufacturer or dealer for information on whether or not your engine provides a data output, and what adaptor is available to connect to NMEA 2000. Once physical connection is made, ensure source selection is completed. Multiple engine installations using Fuel Flow sensors, or Fuel Data Storage devices, will require setup of related engine location in the device list. For general source selection information refer to "Source selection" on page 31. Note: Multiple engines utilizing a single gateway will not work with the Navico Fuel Storage device. Vessel setup This dialog must be used to select the number of engines, the number of tanks and vessel's total fuel capacity across all tanks. Fuel flow configuration Once the number of engines are set, it's required to set which fuel flow sensor is connected to which engine. Under 'Device list' on the Network page, view the 'Device Configuration' page for each sensor, and set 'Location' to match the engine the device is connected to.
