Lowrance NMEA fuel level and fuel flow sensors

Does anyone know if they work with the LMS-335c? As far as I know, it's just a lower resolution LMS-337c so it *should* work just fine. Also, is the Suzuki engine interface available yet?

If you look at the update for your product http://www.lowrance.com/Software/Upg...60/Default.asp it specificaly mentioned NMEA2000 and fluid level. Make sure that you upgrade your GPS unit first as per the instructions.

I've got an EP-10 on my 332c and it works well.

Thanks Fraser, I'll give it a shot.

May I ask where you bought your sensor from?

Got mine from Bass Pro in the US, $49.99 plus $16.75 shipping. Remember if you don't have an NMEA2000 bus you'll need to buy some extras! You need to chuck out the Y-cable and 60ohm terminator that comes with the plotter/gps and buy the starter kit (contains a short cable, a T-piece and two 120ohm terminators), you'll also ned an extra T-piece for the GPS and a cable for it (of a suitable length). The EP-10 comes with a T piece and a decent length of cable.

Although LEI-Extras (division of Lowrance) says on their website that they don't do international orders, they do - you just have to call. They charge $40 for FEDEX shipping, used them to get the other bits and bobs, but they sell the EP-10 and EP-15 as well.

fjarvis;

Any chance you can post some screenshots of the data on the 332?

My choice seems to be the EP-10 or the Yamaha fuel management guage. Yammie option is about $450US.

I've just got a new RIB so all the Lowrance kit is in the cupboard waiting to be fitted! Should *hopefully* get it done over the holiday weekend though so will take some pics when it's up and running.

Thanks for all that Fraser. Ordered the 10 and 15 model sensors, along with the NMEA network starter kit. Just had an email saying they're out of stock of the starter kit, but they're going to ship the rest anyway. Pretty useless

It's a lot cheaper from the US. Lowrance bits are pretty much the dollar price with a pound sign stuck in front of them over here

Absolutely. Even adding on import duty and VAT I'm quids in. It's going to pain me spending £50 on the starter kit over here!
