FloScan Install
Completed FloScan installation. Fuel flow, estimated range, etc. now displays on the Garmin 5212's. FloScan dampers and sensors mounted just forward of the manual bilge pump under the galley sink storage area floor. Reconfigured fuel lines so the generators fuel supply line is now after Racor #2.

FloScan and NMEA 2K
Installed new Balmar battery temperature sensor for ARS-5 regulator.
Mounted FloScan control unit below Mariner charger and ran a pair of 3wire shielded cables to port side of engine to attach to the fuel flow sensors. Connected FloScan control unit to NEMA 2k and validated that new guages for Fuel Flow (gal/hr), Fuel Economy (nm/gal), Total Fuel available and Cruising Range appear on the Garmin 5212. (no data yet as the fuel flow sensors are not installed)
