Gave up on mine...installed old mechanical tank gauge. I have to read at the tank but that forces me to open the hatch and check things out.
safe boating,

You mean you have to open the cockpit hatch and get down in there to see how much gas you got?
Tough to do on the bouncing main!

Thanks for the great information for new sending units. Accurate fuel gauges would be nice!

When I replaced mine, I used a wooden stick (and some math) to determine the fuel level. I then set the gages on 'E' with about 15 gallons of fuel left in the tanls.
Why? Have you ever been stuck with a car, at night, in a strange place with the gage nearing 'E'?
