Fuel flow sensor is working well

Now I have refueled ready for the next leg I have had a chance to see just how accurate the fuel flow sensor is. The sensor said I used 89.8 ltrs from Plymouth to Newlyn… it actually took 91 ltrs!!! Now that is more than accurate enough for me.

If you don’t have a fuel flow sensor on your boat I really do highly recommend it. You can make informed decisions on when to throttle back and also get accurate range/duration figures and if you don’t have a chartplotter that will display the data then there are some very smart display devices, such as the Garmin GDI10, that will show you all this data in a very neat, sunlight readable, unit.

I wouldn’t have a motor boat without it now.
