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.
