I hate lowrance!!!

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.

Did some research and I dont need the gauge just the flow sensor. I can plug it into my unit and display the data on my GPS screen.

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.

I'd be interested in the gauge!

Want to split it up for me and turbine? How much?

The newer LOWRANCE stuff uses the red or black cables which are universal for the NMEA2000 network. There early stuff used the blue connectors, and do not hook up to the current universal NMEA2000. They sent me a blue cable with the black network connectors, so I had to find a way to get it hooked up without the extension harness(the EP-60 only has a 10' cable on it). I have to wait awhile for a new EP-60 as LOWRANCE is on backorder for them. I'm going to get a NORTHSTAR unit to replace this one as 2 bad ones in a row with the new EP-60's on backorder and MANY reports of failed EP-60 recently worries me about em.

Just got off the phone with JIM, and he is gonna swap me out for a NORTHSTAR. I was calling to order one and he said no problem he would take the LOWRANCE back, I didn't even ask him to take it back either.

It is good to see that there are still good people in retail.
