So I start my boat up to go out sailing yesterday and the fuel gage needle goes from E to below E. I always keep a full tank so, unless someone stole ALL my fuel, which they didn't as I was able to run the engine for over an hour, there is something wrong with my gage. I thought it might be a loose or shorted wire so I checked the wires at the tank took them off, cleaned the connections and put them back. Same results. Pulled the Gage's out and did the same with the back of the Fuel gage, still moving in the wrong direction when I turn on the ignition. Anyone with experience with these? I'm thinking my gage has gone bad. I think it is the original. I have a 1986 30'.
