Gas gauge ???
I think I need to replace the sending unit in my 1987 V20, 60 gallon in floor tank (flutters when full, doesn't read at all when it gets close to half full and below). I see the screws under one of the 6" inspection hatches. Does anyone know where I might be able to get a new sending unit for this tank? I have done them before (on other boats) and have always gotten the sending units that needed to be cut for your particular depth tank. I would not like to go that route this time. Do they even make one specific for this tank? I am depending on you guys and all your knowledge to help out here. Thanks.

I'm running this sender from Livorsi marine no moving parts in a 60 gallon floor standing tank, if you know your depth of the tank they will cut and calibrate your sender at the factory......

The depth of the tank is not an issue but the length of the pick up tube is since that is what ya need to go by.

Sending unit
On my 87 the sending unit was a magnetic round disc that screwed onto the top of the tank mounted part. Like a cup shaped area, as the float went up and down in the tank the magnet moved on the sending unit which was connected to the guage..
I took of the magnetic part and cleaned the bottom and the cup shaped area, cleaned the connections and was back in business.. Is there an access hatch or port over the connections? I'll try to take a picture of the setup later for you.. Not sure if you have the same kind of setup or not...
