In case anyone is interested in the details on the fuel flow meter. I chose the Flo-Scan 5500 Fuel Meter and chose to pay the extra $$ ($289) because apparently the Navman and the Standard Horizon must be installed vertically. Word is that air bubbles can affect those where the Flo-Scan won't be an issue an can be installed in any direction. I'll be installing it just after the fuel/water separator. Guy at Consumer Marine said he's done it a hundred times and it would take him an hour. He thought not having done it before it would take me 2 1/2. I bet it takes me 4. Anyway, already got the hatch off the cockpit deck which was a bit of a job. Looks pretty good down there for being almost 8 years old. Good idea to check/inspect the fuel tank every once in a while anyway I hear. I'm looking forward to knowing exactly how fast my hog is s#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&g fuel and what speed I'm traveling. I hope it provides some keen insite and helps me manage consumption more effectively. It will certainly be good to know exactly how many gallons I've burned. The fuel gauge on my dash is horrible. You have to burn 35 gallons just to get it to come off full and then it's dry before the guage hits E.
