Hello friends,

My 26' foot vintage Carver (single tank) gas gauge doesn't work - reads full when full, but then drops as soon as any appreciable fuel is used and stops at 3/4 full, and does not drop below that, (used 37 gallons the last time out and it did not move below 3/4).

But here's the odd aspect - I bought the boat last October and the fuel gauges (flybridge and lower helm), neither worked. I was told that a mechanic had replaced the sending unit/float assembly, and that did not work. So I unplugged one of the wires to one of the gauges, and then the other gauge appeared to work, so I thought - but it was only an 'improvement' to the above condition (which is no good).

So in looking at where the sending unit/float bolts to the top of the tank, it appears that all but one of the small screws line up with the holes in the tank, but one - so I am somewhat certain I have the wrong sender/float assembly. (Probably also why it would not work whatsoever with two gauges.)

Where might I find a replacement sending unit/float assembly? The tank is a 103 gallon Skyline Industries model 43176 manufactured in January 1984.

Any leads, help, advice is greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
Mark
