Etec 150 and Lowrance LMF-200
I'm thinking of installing an LMF-200 mainly for temperature and fuel flow. The boat already has the LowranceNet backbone so I'm guessing all I have to do is plug the motor into the backbone but I have a couple of questions. What do I need to connect the motor to the backbone? Does the Etec have a built-in fuel flow sensor or do I have the get the one from Lowrance?

I have the same set-up. Allyou do is order the adaptor cable from your dealer and plug it in. It comes with a "T" connector.
The engine has it's own fuel monitor but if you run a kicker you need an EP-10 sensor from Lowrance if you want to monitor all fuel used. You will also be able to monitor a multitude of engine functions like temp,load,rpm,hours,etc.
Sorry I don't have the part # anymore but it is in the on-line catalogue and if mako25 reads this he is the one who found it for me.
Some say this set-up may interfere with the ECM but I have no issues and Lowrance said they have not had any issues. http://xs-s.com/zf/images/smile/emthup.gif
