Hello everyone,
I am considering purchasing the new FI-70 Instrument and have a few questions regarding its operation which I cannot seem concretely answer from the manual. My intended purpose of this gauge is to be used on a new boat I am purchasing, which is a 16' aluminum boat with a 90 HP Honda outboard. I will be installing an NMEA 2000 backbone on this boat to be able to read engine information supplied by the outboard. My desired configuration of the display would be to have an analog tachometer, fuel tank level and engine trim level displayed on one screen. I have looked at the screen configuration options listed in the FI-70 manual, though I cannot seem to find this configuration as a possibility.
Ideally I would like the exact screen layout as in the Engine Category option (containing an analog tachometer, digital tachometer and one user defined readout) though being able to view an analog tachometer, engine trim level and fuel tank level readout at once. Does anyone know if it is possible to reconfigure the Engine Category screen layout, or create a custom screen layout, to achieve this? I know it is a new item therefore user experience may be limited at this time. If this configuration isn't possible, I will most likely purchase the digital/analog NMEA 2000 gauges Honda offers. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
