Default Fuel flow meter suggestions

Would like to have this data at the helm, similar to modern cars.

A small but legible gauge that could give you real-time fuel flow, possibly even mpg if it was GPS enabled.

Thanks!!

Floscan?

Jeff, was it a complicated install, or just not useful?

Install was easy! It is just that the more you rev up the rpm, the more gas you regoing to spend, of course...
What i thought i would gain was finding what is the best rpm range for the best mpg...
They dont give you that... i think smartcraft does, but i dont have it either!

Check boattest.com for your craft. They have fuel efficiency points fuel efficiency there for most models. 2750 rpm for mine.
