Stuck fuel gauge on Outrage 18

I quickly noticed that the fuel gauge is stuck on full and confirmed this when it took 30 gal. of fuel. Is replacing the gauge the fix? Or is it something more involved. Thanks in advance. NY Outrage

Take a look around the site to find many things related to Boston Whalers. There is a search feature in the sub header for locating just about everything you want to know. Or, take a look in the OEM Parts Photo section for photos of original parts and information about those original parts. Here is one I can show you: http://www.whalercentral.com/photogal...oto_id=826

I opened mine by removing the 4 flange bolts around the gauge and found that my cork was saturated and sitting on the bottom of the tank. I a pinch, I used 2 wine corks to replace the old cork and it worked great. You can buy a replacement unit from Marine Max. It is an easy replacement.

In a few minutes everything was working. Did you have a Photo of your boat? The splashwell in particularly. I'm curious http://www.whalercentral.com/infusion...r_id=14995 Thanks Surfer Outrage 18 2009 Honda BF 150 HP V-TEC - 2008 BF 10 Hp Honda kicker

I am in the process of fixing the same situation. I have a brand new tank and gauge and when I turn the key on, the gauge shows full (even though I just finished a 120 mile trip).
