Fuel management
 
Any suggestions on fuel management systems? I used to have a navman 2100 and really liked it but I guess they no longer make them.

I was hoping for something around two bills.

Thanks.

I love my FloScan,
They're extremely accurate and they offer several models.They're more than 200 dollars,but I think their quality and performance makes them worth it.

The Lowrance EP 60R unit replaced the Navman units in that conglomerate.

Closest you're going to get to 2 bills. Might find em in the $150 range.

Mine says wow and really??? Only when she is talkative which is never. Really.
I`m such an ass. Is anyone making shirts for the camping trip?

Thanks all. I'm going to check out the Lowrance ( thanks Gilli).

Hard to beat Flo-Scan. Their stuff is aerospace quality, plus their customer service is top notch if you need it.

However if you have a modern DI motor, the factory gage setups like Smartcraft or I-Command may be more cost effective because you can combine GPS speed with fuel flow from engine computer to get instantaneous MPG, which is a big help in finding optimum trim and engine rpm, in addition to fuel used, distance on remaining fuel, etc. That's real handy on a long trip!
