It had to do with a malfunction of the sensor. Granted, this conversation with him was over a year ago and I am pretty much paraphrasing our conversation. Chances are if I put the fuel flow on the nmea2000 system I wouldn't notice any problems. I didn't want to risk my new engine.....That being said, I do like having the nmea kit and its easy to add components to the backbone...just have so many wires to deal with now!
Well, I just moved my LSS-1 Ducer to the trolling motor, moved my LSS-1 to a compartment instead of under my console, and installed my NMEA2000 Network and LGC-4000. Can't wait to get out with it and fish some brush piles.

Since I installed the NMEA2000 network, I'm going to install a temp probe in my livewell, for monitoring the temp during tournaments, and I really am still debating the fuel flow sensor.
After reading your post again, I wonder if you have more clarification on how someone lost an engine from it? I've ran out of gas before, and my engine shut off. I'm no mechanic, so I'm jsut wondering how you could lose an engine from a fuel flow sensor.

Thanks in advance.
