I believe the canned relay I chose is sparkproof. The boat has two gas
cans. The lift switch as originally provided is not spark proof
however.

Here's a gee-whizz item you're sure to enjoy:
the fuel sender inside the gas tank of your car is not in a spark
proof container. Moreover, it DOES spark. Thought you'd enjoy
learning that!

An automotive relay may not be spark proof. Got a gas tank in that space?
Carry your family on that boat?

My fuel sender no longer connects to the rheostat unit, and is in fact just
floating around in there. No sparks. ;-)
The "guage" part is now my odometer.

Absolutely. I changed one in my step daughter's Taurus, and was
surprised! The electrical connections (INSIDE the tank) are simple
spade terminals!
