Does anyone know if the software updates for the LMS337 enable extra pages for fuel management etc. Such as information supplied by a Suzuki DF175 via the NMEA 2000 network ???

I thought there was a cable you had to buy to go from the engine to the nmea network to get these functions to work.
Rhyce,
I have a LMS332 - same type of unit only single freq. Yes, the latest firmware update will allow you to use fuel management system etc. I recently installed the fuel meter (EP60R) and it works great. I can't vouch for the Suzuki interface (I have a Johno) but would assume it should work as well, all being NMEA 2000 compliant. N.B. Even if you update the firmware the new screens will not be available untill you actually install the meter or interface cable!
Cheers
John
