•
mode off.
Incorrect chart datum. Select the
•
correct chart datum.
Map shift has been applied wrongly.

•
Time Offset must be changed when

•
correctly.
B-3 Fuel consumption problems
3-1 Fuel used or remaining seem
inaccurate:
unit is not wired for auto power.
•
In rough seas, fuel may surge back
•
and forth through the fuel transducer,
resulting in incorrect readings. Try
installing a one-way valve between the
fuel transducer and the fuel tank.
The
•
Set remaining
fuel value must be
reset after every refuelling.
The fuel tank may not refill to the same
•
capacity each time due to air pockets.
This is particularly noticeable with
underfloor tanks.
Fuel transducers wear out over time
•
and should be replaced after every
5000 litres of fuel.
3-2 Flow indicates no fuel or low fuel:
Check that the number of engines is
•
set to 1.
Check that the fuel cable connectors
•
are securely plugged in and the collar
is locked in place. The collar must be
locked in place to give a watertight
connection.
A fuel transducer may be clogged. If
•
so, remove the transducer from the
fuel line and gently blow through it in
the opposite direction to the fuel flow.
A fuel filter between the fuel transducer
•
and the fuel tank must be installed as
per the fuel installation guide. Failure
to do so will void the warranty.
Inspect the fuel cable from end to
•
end for damage such as cuts, breaks,
trapped or squashed sections.
Check that the fuel filter is clean.
•
3-3 A twin engine installation shows
only one flow rate:
Check that the number of engines is
•
set to 2.
3-4 Erratic Fuel Flow readings:
The fuel flow transducer may have been
•
mounted too close to the fuel pump or
may be subject to excessive vibration.
Refer to the installation instructions
supplied with the fuel transducer.
Check for leaks in the fuel line or in the
•
fuel pickup in the tank.
The
•
Flow filter
value is not suitable
for the engine. Check that the value is
not set to zero, then try increasing the
value until a steady flow rate is shown.
3-5 There is no reading for fuel
economy:
The boat must be travelling through
•
the water to generate an
Economy
reading.
