I totally get your point, but I was thinking more along the lines of another way to see how much fuel is left.... A fuel sender in a boat's fuel tank, even with multiple baffles, is hardly accurate underway. Backing up information, the same way electronics are a back up to DR. You get that, right? It will all come down to the $$$. It might well be the easy decision. Just want to make it an educated decision.

Ross, not on a Sea Hunt. My Sea Hunt gauge was dead on. If I was down to half a tank it would take 30 gallons. It was a 60 gallon tank. I owned that boat 7 years and it was always dead on.

No boat, back in the suds.

Honestly, as long as it purrs at minimum throttle/idle, that is where I spend most of my hours trolling for bait or fishing live bait in close to the bricks. I rarely ever go WOT.
