Location: Green Bay, WI | Fuel Flow indicators are VERY nice to have, and can pay for themselves in only a couple years if you use your boat much. You would be amazed at the difference in FF that you'll see with only a 200-300 RPM difference in power setting.
I have had a Yamaha digital gauge, and it cost me about $450 installed as I recall. I now have FF on my Mercury SmartCraft, but that set-up cost quite a bit more than $450. But it came with the boat so I don't know how much it'd cost if installed after-market. I don't think the Yamaha gauge would be particularly difficult to install, but mine was installed by the dealer before I picked up the (new) boat for the first time. I recall that my dealer told me it only took his service guy about an hour to install it...
Lowrance does make a unit, but I've never talked to anybody using one. You might go over the the forums at http://thehulltruth.com and search in the archives for information about particular fuel flow gauges. There is a tremendous amount of information on the forum, and I would think you could find any number of threads discussing the different FF gauge solutions available.
