    2016 V20 fuel & speedo gauge

    Any problems with your fuel gauge not working? My speedo doesn't work either. I'm installing a merc monitor and system link gauges soon but just wondering if it's only my 1 year old V20 or if others have the same issues. Speedo is not a big deal but the fuel gauge is annoying not to have.

    Not sure why the fuel gauge would not be working other than maybe a loose wire at the sender or the gauge or no power to it. As for the speedo, it might have some debris stuck in the pickup. The speedo in my Stratos that I had stopped working before I was done breaking it in. Must have picked up a piece of wood in the river and it never worked again, but like you said no big deal I had speed on my GPS.

    My fuel gauge on my 2016 V20 has not worked right at times. I just reset my smartcraft when I fill up with gas. Have you checked the intake hole on your lower unit for debris?

    I have a 2017 V20 and my gas gauge always says 100% full when in the water? It's annoying.

    Well I'm glad it's not just me. The fuel gauge problem is very annoying! I'll check the connections. I do reset my smart craft but unless you fill up each time it's hard to keep track. I did find wood on the Speedo hole.
