Engine Monitoring Displays
Posted: June 15th, 2016, 2:48 pm
My engines are Volvo Penta 8.1GIL-E. I want to capture the engine data from them, in particularly fuel burn. These motors are equipped to output this information. Has anyone connected the output to their Raymarine chart plotter or installed one or two of the Volvo Penta displays (2.5", 4", 4" Color, or 7")?
I'm very comfortable with doing the work but would like to hear from someone who has done it or contracted to have it done. Volvo Penta unfortunately does not share any information with end users and I am having no luck thus far getting a call back from V-P dealers in my area. Very happy with the motors, no so much with V-P's unwillingness to share information about their aftermarket products.
Thanks,
Dan
