What a pleasure meeting you this past week at the golf course and learning you work for FloScan. Thanks to a friend of mine who lives in Florida and has owned numerous airplanes equipped with FloScan fuel flow meters, I learned about your product and how important it is to have on my boats.
It is most comforting to know "exactly" how much fuel I am consuming at my current RPM’s as well as how much fuel I have consumed overall and thus know how much fuel I have remaining. I installed FloScan fuel flow meters on my prior and current boats and would not even think about operating a boat for any distance without them. While our FloScan fuel flow meter is important for cruising in our boat around the Puget Sound, it was most critical in our trip this past year from Seattle to Alaska.
Our boat, a 35' Bayliner aft-cabin has twin 454 gas engines and thus has a limited cruising range of only approximately 100 miles. While my research on this trip provided me with enough fuel stops along the way, there were many legs of the trip where there was very little margin for error. Such factors as strong currents, extreme tide changes and winds play a major role in getting from point A to point B without running out of fuel. Without our FloScan fuel flow meter, I would not have been comfortable taking this trip. It's a great product and I don't understand why all manufacturers of all size motor yachts don't make this standard equipment.
Great product!! |
