Lowrance EP20 Suzuki Interface

Has anyone hooked their Suzuki motor up to any Lowrance kit that is compatible with the EP20 interface cable and K8 cable?

What's it like and do you like it?

Yep

I've got an LMF400 on the console, with the EP20 connected to my DF200. All works fine. Only frustration was the EP20 had the blue connectors, whilst my network had the red. I've just added a GPS aerial to the network, so this year I'll see how many miles I'm doing to each litre of juice.

The plan is to connect a DF175 to a Lowrance HDS7 I just wondered how useful the gauge page was, like yourself I'd be very interested in fuel data if nothing else. I believe this comes direct fro the processor in the engine not via a separate fuel flow transducer.
