I'm seraching for the best fuel management monitor for my 232. I have a 300hp Bravo drive. Cost for the unit is no obstacle, I just want the best as I figure the right one will help monitor my fuel consumption and save me fuel cost over the long haul.

Great questions...Im wondering the same.  Would you replace the gas or tach gauge or were you thinking of mounting it elsewhere?

This is the one I have been watching, but I dont think it will look too good in my cluster.  My gauges are gray.  Maybe have to get a label custom printed to match.

Mike, have you looked into the smartcraft guages? I don't know a whole lot about them but if your engine is new enough these guages get fuel flow right from the engine computer. I also know "Northstar" has fishfinder/ chartploter combos that "plug in" with the merc computer that give fuel flow and other engine info. Good luck, Eric
