Navico Fuel Data Manager

Enhance Your Boating Experience with Precision Fuel Monitoring

Imagine setting out on a long offshore adventure with complete confidence in your vessel's fuel efficiency. The Fuel Data Manager seamlessly integrates into your NMEA 2000 network, capturing real-time fuel flow data from compatible engines. This compact device transforms raw fuel rate information into actionable insights, tracking seasonal totals, trip-specific usage, and lifetime consumption. Boat captains and avid anglers alike rely on this tool to optimize routes, plan refueling stops, and extend their time on the water without the guesswork.

Whether you're running a single outboard or managing multiple engines, this black, 1.5-foot cable device supports up to three engines per unit. For larger setups, simply add another sensor to scale effortlessly. It replaces older models like the EP-85, delivering updated performance tailored for modern marine electronics.

Key Features That Deliver Reliable Performance

• Real-Time Fuel Flow Tracking: Directly monitors fuel rate from NMEA 2000 engines or interfaces, accumulating precise usage data.
• Multi-Engine Support: Handles data from up to three engines simultaneously, ideal for multi-outboard rigs.
• Comprehensive Outputs: Provides seasonal, trip, and total fuel used metrics, displayed on compatible Lowrance or Simrad multifunction displays (MFDs).
• Accurate Fuel Remaining Estimates: Maintain your MFD's fuel screen at every refuel for spot-on remaining fuel calculations.
• Flexible Networking: Works with multiple engines routed through a single gateway, simplifying complex installations.
• User-Friendly Design: Easy plug-and-play connection with straightforward configuration via compatible displays.

How It Integrates into Your NMEA 2000 Setup

Connecting this Fuel Data Manager is straightforward for those familiar with marine networks. It taps into your existing NMEA 2000 backbone, pulling fuel flow signals from engine ECUs or interfaces. Once networked, data flows to your chartplotter or gauge, where you can view customizable dashboards. Pro tip: Regularly update your MFD software to ensure optimal compatibility and access the latest fuel analytics features. This setup not only tracks consumption but also helps identify inefficiencies, like propeller issues or lean mixtures, saving you fuel and maintenance costs over time.

For vessels with more than three engines, deploy additional units—they communicate seamlessly without conflicts. It's particularly valuable on fishing charters or weekend cruisers where precise range planning prevents unexpected detours.

Real-World Benefits for Marine Enthusiasts

Beyond basic monitoring, this device empowers smarter decision-making. Calculate your true range per tank, adjust throttle for efficiency during trolling, or analyze post-trip data to refine your setup. Fishermen report using it to correlate fuel burn with lure weights and speeds, while cruisers appreciate the peace of mind on extended voyages. Paired with GPS and weather overlays on your MFD, it turns your helm into a command center for fuel economy.

Built tough for the marine environment, it comes backed by a limited one-year warranty, ensuring reliability when you need it most.
