I've had mine about as long as the boat and love it. A grain of sand will stop the wheel and won't read.
Apparently they have changed the fuel flow sensor, my model is an EP-10. It came in a kit with the LMF-200.

I bought it strictly for fuel flow, and possibly adding a paddle wheel later on for instant MPG. There tech department and overwelming backorder on the fuel probes though is leaving a VERY bad taste in my mouth per say for LOWRANCE right now. This lady I spoke with in technical support didn't understand squat about the NMEA 2000 network, she just wanted to blame the retailer and say he sold me a kit that he put together wrong. I've had LOWRANCE products in the past and liked them, but after NAVICO bought em out it seems that customer support has went down the crapper. This really worries me as MANY electronic manufacturers out there are now owned by NAVICO. I just want to get this thing working, and LOWRANCE was ZERO help.

When I got mine over a year ago, the same thing. Phoned, e-mailed to customer service, as of today I've not recieved a responce.
When Lowrance products work, they are the greatest thing.
When they don't, just buy more parts, you will not get any help from them or the suppliers.

BOE got me another kit in today, and I got it installed this afternoon. This one went hooked right up and configured just like the directions said it should. This one still came with the wrong extension cable, but I found a way to make it fit. So I'm hoping to go out on the lake tommorrow and try out my fuel flow meter and my new FURUNO FCV-620, and if all goes well go out SUNDAY and attend the church of fishing. JIM is a great guy to deal with, and went out of his way to get me up and going when LOWRANCE said I'd have to wait until late OCTOBER.

I STILL HATE LOWRANCE!!!!!!!!!

I went out SUNDAY and actually used my boat offshore. Every wave I hit the fuel flow would drop out for about 2 seconds and then come back on. I hit one big wave on the way in(when some @SSHOLE cut across the channel in front of me) and the EP-60 unconfigured itself and went blank on me. Anybody want a barely used LMF-200 with an Ep-60 fuel flow sensor? I will be ordering a NORTHSTAR F-210 tomorrow from BOE and some time in late OCTOBER I guess LOWRANCE will get me another EP-60 in and I will re-sell this POS.

I have allways had good luck with Lowrance and have been thinking about getting the fuel flow meter.

Are you serious about getting rid of yours. How much do you want for it.

Of course I will have to make sure it is compatible with mine.

How did it hook right up and configure but still had the wrong cable. What does the cable connect.

Turbo, keep in mind they got 2 different NMEA configs, basically a Red one and a Blue one. Somewhere there was a distinction between the two and somewhere else they are supposed to be the same. My EP-10 has the Blue connectors. The EP-60 has the Red connectors.
