Fuel level sensor replacement

Post by Jsucci »

I have a 1987 10 meter international and my fuel gages quit working. 1 was ad when I got the boat, the other just stopped this past weekend . I pulled the floor up to get to the tank but really dont have much room from the top of the tank to the floor. Any tips or tricks to make thr job easy? Thanks in advance.

Different boat, but I used a hole saw on my F36 I have heard people with 10 meters do the same and put a deck plate in.

Trojan 10 meter
Same problem
I drilled a hole with a hole saw, saved the core and then repaired.
I have cork decking so repair is not seen

What makes you think it's the senders?
I needed a less expensive hobby, so I bought a boat!

Marine Parts Source has a good youtube video on how to check the gauge and sending unit
