That’s the way I’ve always felt about boat fuel gauges. I’ve always wanted a easy access port with a dip stick.

My boat gauge got me once when it first died.
I didnt even know fuel oil was still used but it makes sense.January 30, 2019 at 3:24 pm #1831152Yeah gauges are always a crap shoot as to how accurate they are. Too bad there isn’t an hour meter or something that you could also track usage ala an odometer in a car. Good thing you were able to get filled up quick. That could have been awful.
THough with the Natural Gas outage in Princeton/Foley area, there are no guarantees with that either.January 30, 2019 at 3:38 pm #1831156Yeah gauges are always a crap shoot as to how accurate they are.

BIL has a MasterCraft ski boat, and the back bench pulls out with the fuel tank right behind it. It’s the most accurate fuel gauge I’ve ever seen.
