    I just run a MercMonitor plugged into a NMEA 2000 network and I get all the info up on the Lowrance units.

    I have a Lowrance LCX 112C and a Lowrance Elite TI. If you want to have a digital fuel tank you just plug a Lowrance Fuel Data Manager into the system.
    All works perfectly...if you don't add the fuel data manager you will just get fuel flow, fuel used, economy etc. no actual fuel tank size or fuel remaining.

    A gateway device and Smartcraft network. I also have a MercMonitor (gateway device) coupled to my N2k network. Vessel View Mobile may be most economical solution. Contact Rhonda for recommendations and BBC member discount.
