Fuel gauge Beneteau 323 2007

Hello all, can't see the fuel level anymore. See attached for the back and front of the gauge. The back makes me think that an off-the-shelf gauge isn't going to work. Any advice?

If there is corrosion or a loose wire or a blown fuse or a bad sending unit,
an expensive one will fail just as quickly as a cheap one.
In this situation, a multimeter is your friend.

Actually, it’s working fine but the front “glass” is badly crazed. I’d like to replace the gauge but have no idea how/where to buy a suitable replacement. Curious if anyone else has replaced one similarly and can advise.

Can you polish the lens like they do with headlights on cars?

Same situation with my fuel guage. The guages for that Beneteau vintage are manufactured by VDO. Of course, VDO no longer makes that
particular series / model guage . So, you have to purchase a new (different model) guage and ensure that it is compatible with the sending unit on the tank. I haven't replaced mine. If you do decide to replace it, please keep me apprised of the new model that you use.
