Hi , I have a 1998 30 foot Cruisers , The gas gauge only reads half full
after I fill the tank . This boat has 2 tanks and 2 gauges and only the
one gauge is reading correctly .I have cleaned the contacts on the
tanks and switched the gauges and I still have the problem ??

Sounds like the float is " gas-logged ", worn -out, or the ohm value
is out of whack.Could be a bad ground on the float, or the lead FROM
from the tank where it connects to the ground buss. *Just my guesses.


Good guesses from slammy. Ground the sender lead. If the tank reads full
replace the sender. Make sure you follow the instructions.
