1992 23 WALKAROUND Fuel Gauge and Sender

Postby whalerguy » Tue Jul 26, 2016 9:32 am

Recently replaced the gauge and sender [on a 1992 Boston Whaler 23 WALKAROUND boat], as the originals were giving readings less than empty when ignition was turned on. Wiring was replace and new sender and gauge were replaced. I received a correct reading upon turning the ignition and now getting reading below empty again. There is approximately 3/4 tank of fuel.
Any thoughts?
Thanks

Check all the wiring connections.

Check the float on the arm.

The electrical meter should never go below the ZERO point. If it does, the polarity of the meter is wrong.
