So out of the blue my gas gauge on the dash of my boat quit working. I hate not knowing how much gas is in the tank. It must be getting power because when I turn the key the needle moves all the way past full. So the fact that it moves it must be getting power...right? Is the float bad..do they go bad? Do I have take apart whole boat to find it? Any thoughts??

Go get yourself a new sending unit, they are pretty inexpensive. On my boat it took about 5 min to install.

Sensor on your tank usually two wires that run up to your gauge. Unplug remove install new usually.

They are usually located on top of fuel tank so whatever you need to do to get to it.

So unplug from on top of tank and behind gauge? Getting behind gauge is easy but I would then need to get into floor somewhere correct? And take off? Where do I get sending units? Thanks for help


Ha...never mind I youtubed it. Seems simple enough.

Splice a fuel-flow meter in and tie it into your fish-finder/GPS. You program in your tank size, re-set to zero every time you fill. You can display usage on your FF screen.
