Default Lowrance fuel flow sensors to a Garmin 4208?
I'm new to the whole NMEA 2000 thing, so please bear with me.

The Lowrance fuel flow sensors (EP-60R) have a lower minimum flow rate than the fuel flow sensors offered by Garmin. Will the Lowrance sensors work with a Garmin display? Would I need to buy adapters, or do they share the same plug types.

They use the same plug types. They are fully compatible. However you will need to buy a Lowrance LMF display to configure the EP-60's.

It's handy to have the separate display too. It keeps you from cluttering up the chart plotter trying to show engine/fuel data.
