need to know ohm of water level for 1997 hunter 310

Are you asking about the resistance within a specific sensor? Or are you asking about the resistance of freshwater within your holding tank? Or maybe something else? Either way, we would need a lot more information in order to be helpful. What brand/model number is the sensor? Of if it is something else you are asking…. Please provide more datail.
I admire your willingness to be helpful even when the obstacles are enormous.
You posted the same question in June of this year in the same cryptic fashion :
That got you absolutely nowhere. Unless you are willing to supply the details of your existing level sensor (brand name, model, potable or black water) you're going nowhere again. And rather quickly, I might add.
This is a boat and not a car. The level sensor you have in your 1997 Hunter 310 may not be the same as the sensor in someone else's 1997 Hunter 310, hence the need for details. In addition, very few people on this site own a 1997 Hunter 310 and therefore don't know what sensor you have. However, they may have the same make and model level sensor as you have in their Cat or Bene or Jene and repaired it which often makes them an excellent source of information for this sensor.
The ball's in your court.

Why do you always have to think of me when you see something that's incorrect, in error, peculiar, eccentric or otherwise "just not right" ?Guess who I was thinking of when I typed my original reply...

Thanks for the reminder Don. We don't want the SBO Police Bot to show up. But you never know, he, she, or it might be lurking.
The principals in this short exchange all know each other pretty well; I took as just some friends ribbing each other. The less frequent visitor to the forums might not be aware of the relationships that we all have here.
Well now, that's not very neighbourly even if I do say so myself.You have to ask? Who's your mentor?
@CharlieAnn , have you come up with a make and model of your current level sensor as requested in post #4 ?
Most sending units and guages are 33-240 ohms. (Check amzn), go to radioshack and get a 100 ohm resister put the legs in the sending unit connector, should show about half tank on guage.
Auto oem are usually customized but why would a boat mfg spend extra money on a custom system when standard off the shelf units are plentiful.

There are 2 standards, one European and one US. There are differences between the resistance ranges and the direction. One reads full at low resistance, the other reads full at high resistance. (I can't remember which is which, I would have to look it up.) Thus, it is important to know which you have.
And how easy it would be if @CharlieAnn were willing to share this information with us.
Alas, it has been determined this information is on a "need to know ONLY" basis and hence the problem will never be solved.
Just barely
From Wikipedia: Currently, RadioShack operates primarily as an e-commerce website with a network of independently owned and franchised RadioShack stores, as well as a supplier of parts for HobbyTown USA. On March 2, 2023, Retail Ecommerce Ventures announced that it was mulling a possible bankruptcy filing.
"For American Standard sending units the unit will read 240 at empty and 33 at full (+/- 5 ohms). For European Standard sending units, the unit will read either 0 or 10 at empty and 180, 190 or 90 at full (+/- 5 ohms)."
KUS FAQ
The sticker on the top of the sensor is labeled (WEME-SYSTEM) W2-400 Water sensor, 400mm, 1996-3 Magne.
I hope this will help to get the proper sensor to replace the bad one. thanks for your help
