I need some advise as to installing this sensor on my boat.

I run a 2007 legend Xcal with a 115 Opti.

Lowrance recommends this sensor be installed in a vertical position? They also recommend I install a fuel filter before the placement of the sensor?

Im not sure I can install the sensor in a vertical position as my fuel line is the typical rubber flex line? what are your thoughts on this???

Not sure of their theory but it must be for proper fuel flow.

Are you installing a filter???Have you seen a water/fuel separator as I belief this is the type of filter they mean. If that is the case then the sensor could be installed vertically after the filter. This type of filter comes with a mounting bracket and a canister type filter. With this mounted on the bulkhead in the boat near the fuel tank you could then mount the sensor vertically and secure it with tie-wraps.

Does this help??? Give me a call if you like....

Thanks mike

I have to take a look at the tank and see what im dealing with behind the bulkhead. I can tell you from the bulkhead to the engine is a rubber fuel line. I beleave the OptiMax has a water seperator/ fuel filter inside the engine. So Im sure there is no filters in the tank?

For the extra cost involved I think I will install the canister style water seperator and connect the sensor as recommend my lowrance.

Do I need to worry about this setup and added Presure on the fuel system?

Thanks again for your response
