1 - Are you sure that's a ground wire?

2 - Are you sure it's not a bad sender?

If both of the above it yes, then by all means.

Yes to number 2 and but not sure about number 1 question. I checked
the sender and gauge off the boat by hooking it up to just the 12 volt
battery and they worked fine. As far as the ground question, the green
wire is attached to the tank at a welded strap on the tank. Also
connected to this strap besides the green wire is a black ground wire
for the fuel sending unit. From what I read in this forum a heavy
gauge green wire is normally an earth ground wire and used for ground
when connected to shore AC power. I don't have AC on this boat just 12
V DC current so I'm not sure why a green wire is on this small 16 ft
boat.
