I purchased the Lowrance 337c GPS/Sonar system for my 215. As an accessory I also purchased the EP 10 fuel sensor. The installation was simple, cut the fuel hose, fit in the sensor with the arrow pointing in the right direction and put on the hose clamps. Plug the cable into the NMEA 2000 system and turn on the fuel management module on the GPS/Sonar.
I now know my fuel consumption as I'm motoring and know exactly how much fuel is left in the tank to the tenth of a gallon. It's fairly simple to operate and would be even simpler if Lowrance thought to include the instructions in their 337c GPS/Sonar instruction manual. Instead I had to fumble around with menus and enters and exits until I could make sense of the whole thing. A lot more options are available including averaging, economy, usage per trip, usage per season but without a manual I haven't figured out how to use them all. I've written Lowrance and am waiting for a reply, hopefully with a set of instructions on the programming of the system.
However, other than that complaint, when I see my fuel gauge sloshing from quarter tank to three quarter tank while under way, it's comforting to know how much fuel I have in the tank down to the tenth of a gallon. The best part of the deal is that the fuel sensor is only $49 at Cabela's.
