I have a 1997 R82 that has issues with the gas gauge. I ran out of gas yesterday with the gauge showing almost 1/2 tank. No other boat on the lake so I had to call a friend for a tow.
took it to the boat shop and the gas tank was empty. After quite a bit if "Razzing" and comments I filled it up and guess what-it ran fine.
My question is will it do any good to replace the gauge or just drive it like that and make sure I don"t let it get below 1/2 tank? The mechanic checked the sending unit and says its OK. Will a new gauge be accurate or all boat gas gauges like boat speedometers not so accurate?
