NOTE: this is NOT the software on your GPS or gauge, it is actually on the interface cable itself. You can check which version you have by opening the bus devices menu on your network gauge/sounder, selecting the Suzuki device and going to the calibrate screen - the software version details are found there. So anyone out there having similar problems, I suggest that you check which version software is on your interface cable. We eventually got an update file from Lowrance in the USA, uploaded it onto the interface cable via the HDS, and the problem has been solved. To cut a long story short, the culprit turned out to be glitches in the software on the engine interface cable. No amount of recalibrating of the fuel flow would improve the situation. ![]() The problem I experienced, along with many other people, was fuel flow data that was extremely inaccurate - as much as 4 times fuel being reported as used compared to actual. ![]() I established an NMEA 2000 network on my boat and connected the 2009 DF115 4 stroke to the network, along with 2 x Lowrance HDS5 units. Thought I'd try to add to the knowledge base with some info about the Lowrance/Suzuki NMEA engine interface cable and fuel flow data problems. I'm a new member here and very pleased to find heaps of useful info.
