Thanks to all for responding. I intend to do this project after the boating season is finished. Right now I am still using the boat and currently have a full tank of fuel. I really do not want to open tank to do this now, as it may just ruin my Striped Bass season (just my kind of luck). I know that this is a relatively easy fix, but as stated, with my luck, who knows. I will wait until after the season or maybe even until spring to do it. This is the reason for my questions because I figured that you guys have probably done this before and in fact already know the dimensions of the tank (60 gallon, in floor at the stern), allowing me to order the parts now, so when I open it up, I already have the replacement in hand. Rabbitfish, I hope that I have the same setup as you. That would be real easy to do. I do have an access door right above the sending unit, so it should be an easy fix. I will await your response and hope that I do have the same setup. Thanks again to all.

I used this one in the link and it was pretty easy to install. You just remove the old unit, measure the tanks deep the tank, and then have to make one cut and put it together. I think it took me about a 1/2 hour but I did measure everthing twice before I made the simple hacksaw cut.

Stillrunning, That is the exact unit I used in my 28' Silverton. I must have checked 100 times before cutting, but still I didn't get it right. It served me well anyway, as I always had an idea what was in the tank. Besides, I guess it may just be me, but I don't trust fuel gauges. Normally I would just install a Floscan, but $$$ is tight this time around. Thanks.

Sending unit 1987

This is what it looks like with the sending unit magnetic part attached..... Jan 19, 2009 (10).jpg After removing the magnetic part of the sending unit... It is just a bowl looking area that the magnetic part sits in. When it gets dirty it does not make good contact and will read incorrectly..

Thanks for the pictures Rabbitfish. That looks like my tank and setup. I will hold off buying a new sender until I pull and check the old one. Thanks a million.

Take a look at the link I put up for the sender with no moving parts to foul up, it's at the beginning of the thread....
