Fuel meter

[Great Escape]

I am considering adding a fuel meter to my boat. Anyone have experience with a specific brand of meter you have added on. Is it a difficult job to do or would you suggest that it be done by a mechanic? I have checked out the dual meter for twin I.O's manufactured by Floscan which appears to be a good meter, however my understanding is that it does not tell you what is remaining in your tank, only what has been consumed.
Any thoughts?

I have installed several different brands. I like the Floscan because it is accurate and simple to read at a glance. As long as you reset the lcd counter when you refill, it is a simple matter of subtraction to determine what is left in the tank(s). The only variation is the consumption by the generator which is not metered.

The Floscan sensors are the most accurate I have installed. The installation is very straightforward as long as you are comfortable working around gasoline. Be careful with the sensors because they are a matched pair and will crack if you over tighten the fittings.

About 3-4 hours of work for someone who has done it before.

I presume you do not have EFI. The Floscan only works carbs and with EFI units which do not have a return line to the fuel tank.
