GPS antenna location and the NMEA 2000 net and a fuel flow sensor

On my 2006 201 PRO XL I have noticed that there is a NMEA 2000 fuel flow rate sensor in the fuel line in the battery/oil compartment.

There is a splitter on the net cable with one open connection. I thought I might connect my GPS antenna through the engine cable boot, and mount it via silicone right beside the oil cap.

I am replacing the X135 with the 332C in the console.

1) Has anyone tried that location for the antenna?

2) What is a fuel flow sensor doing there, and has anyone taken advantage of it?

Thanks,

Replying to myself on the fuel flow setup.

If you scroll down the menu until you get to the NMEA 2000 Setup, you should see the sensor listed there.

To finish the setup try this out from the lowrance http://primus.lowrance.com/sup...oto60 site.

I loved the fuel flow sensor feature that can be read on the graph. Regardless of what the tank guage said, if you were pretty good at filling the tank, you have a real good idea of what is left in the tank from fuel flow monitor. From that point forward, keep adding the gallons you add to the tank on the 332 and it will continue to track remaining fuel and fuel used.
