LowranceNET™ Electronic Probes

Electronic Probes (EPs) are for use with the LowranceNET system and other compatible data-sharing networks. They are an advanced and innovative array of NMEA 2000® certified Electronic Probe sensors. Each EP has its own built-in microprocessor "smart module" that transmits its monitored data in the NMEA 2000® format. The data travels through the network "backbone" to every device installed on the network for data display – such as LMF multi-function gauges, and a host of Lowrance sonar/GPS head units. Plus, each EP is fully programmable for the greatest accuracy in data delivery.
Available:  Speed Probe, Temperature Probe.

EP60 fuel sensor
Date:
I've used the EP60R now for an entire season now. I have my NMEA200 network connected to my LMS527c and it works as I suspected for the most part. My fuel tank is long and wide but not very deep so the dash fuel gauge is not very accurate. I installed the EP60 (I have the newer all red connectors) so I would have a better idea of how much fuel was remaining in my tank. I have 1 tank and 2 engines (90hp outboard and 9.9 kicker) and it will separately track stats for each engine's fuel use if you remember to go into the menu and tell it which engine you're using. If you are installing a network, make sure you also install a kill switch on the network power lead. I thought since my network received power from my fish finder it would cut power when I turned off the unit - it doesn't. A dead battery convinced me to go with a separate switch.
My only real complaint about the sensor is that if you make a mistake telling it how much fuel you've added, there is no option for correcting the amount once it\u2019s been entered. At least not with the LMS527c. Don't be in a hurry when you tell the sensor you're adding fuel. Also, I haven't yet figured out how to reset all the stats at the end of the season. I have tried numerous times to go back to the factory defaults since configuring the sensor only takes a few minutes but it won\u2019t reset the fuel level. It will reset seasonal stats however.
I've resigned myself to just fill the tank each time I add fuel. There's a menu option on my unit to "fill tank" and since you define the tank size (don't make a mistake here either), it resets remaining fuel to the size you\u2019ve entered for your tank.
One thing I didn't realize until I purchased the sensor is that it has to be out of the weather and mounted in a vertical position. I had planned to mount it inline where my fuel line comes up through the stern but that would expose it. They also strongly suggest installing a fuel filter before the sensor since it can clog easily which would block fuel flow to the engine. I have a 17.5' alum runabout with an internal fuel tank and the space I had to work with was very tight making the installation somewhat difficult. You will use a lot of hose clamps if you chose to install the fuel filter (which I also strongly recommend).
Overall, I'd recommend the sensor if you want to track fuel usage or, like me, you just want to know how much you have remaining but be ready for the frustration when you want to make simple adjustments or redefine certain variable.

Save's Gas
Date:
Works well on my Lowrance HDS 8. Gives me complete readings of real time fuel consumption and seasonal fuel usage. Installation was pretty simple. Make sure you place the sensor in a vertical position as per the directions and try to mount it in an area where vibration is minimal. I do not recommend placing the sensor directly onto the the connecting fuel line on the your outboard because of vibration. Try to mount it as close as possible to the fuel tank and place an inline fuel filter on the fuel line before the sensor.
I think this is a worth while product. You can find your outboards sweet spot where it consumes less gas and ends up helping you in the wallet in the long run. Give it a try.

Saves lots of fuel
Date:
At todays fuel prices this is a must. Tells me when I am getting max fuel economy. Wouldn't be with out it. Also more accurate than my fuel gage.

Great stuff once you figure it out
Date:
I put an entire Lowrance NEMA system in a Lund Pro-V; color fishfinder GPS combo, fuel flow sensor, multifunction gauge and the GPS moduel. The "backbone" and "T" connectors are very easy to use but you must have the new instructions. I had the old ones and they were very confusing. One thing I did was to label all of the connections of each device on the plug where it connected to the "backbone". This made it easier to keep track of the wires, sure the schematic looks good but when everything is up under the dash and the gunnels it is a lot more difficult. One thing I found was that there is a lot of extra wire that must be tied up and hidden. Also make sure to keep your wiring as far from other wires, charging system as practical, it really cuts down on the interference. I used the blue connectors, I don't know about the new red ones, they should be the same but who knows.
