My tank monitor has failed for the second time in 12 months. Has anyone else had this type of experience with the factory standard tank monitor? I had considered an upgrade to the system, but after two failures, I am reluctant to spend any money with Snake River.

Snake River Systems don't fail...
Not denying that yours did, it's just a VERY rare occurance! E-mail Dennis Firiello at Snake River... dennis@snake-river.org They stand behind their products! So whatever has gone awry, he'll help you figure it out and make sure it doesn't happen again.

???...Yes that is rare indeed. I wonder if your
12 volt or other wiring isn't shorting somewhere or some other anomaly. These systems are pretty simple which lends itself to less chance to break. What exactly is failing?..Do you have the LED, LCD or LCD delux system?

Tom: I have heard your words many times about system failure. Ask at any forum about the AcuGage. The main thing I can say it that Snake River stands behind everything we sell. It is available on this site which also stands behind everything they sell. Dennis Ferriello Snake River Electronics

Water tank meter
This week on my H340 I didn't slow down enough going over a large wake and the bow slammed, and the water tank meter went to 1/4 full and is stuck. Under the v-berth on top of the water tank I tapped the sensor and the needle on the meter went to where it should be, but only for a few minutes, then went back to 1/4 full. I'd like to know how to fix it. Ken Kindrick kkindrick@juno.com

Not a Snake River gauge...
Snake River gauges don't have needles. Are you sure it NEEDS fixing? Maybe your water tank is only 1/4 full.

'01 410
Now here's a question for Dennis: Terry has a '01 H410. Would that have the new SR monitor, or one of the old ones?

Ken/340 water gauge
Ken-if you have the wema gauge (needle type) that was factory original you most probably broke the sending unit in the tank. These gauge/sending units are junk (my 2 cents worth) Almost $50 for a new sending unit, I would buy the snake river gauge and forget the wema. Good Luck

Snake River Monitor
This is in response to Dennis Ferriello's message. I have a replacement monitor for the factory LCD unit. The unit is approximately 60 days old, and reads nothing but a line of solid boxes when any of the switches are depressed.

Snake River adjustments
I've got the single diesal tank monitor and can't get either adjustment screw on the module to get the unit to read the required voltage for full tank. The result is: tank reads 4 bars (full) no matter what level of fuel in tank. The full-tank reading should be approximately 3.5 (3-1/2) volts: Instructions say that
a) If the full reading is too high (over 3.5 volts) twist the full adjustment screw (the brass screw closest to the middle of the module) COUNTER-CLOCKWISE to lower the reading. (b) If the reading is too low (below 3.5 volt) twist the empty adjustment screw CLOCKWISE to raise the reading. I've tried adjusting each tiny little brass screw with no luck reaching 3.5 volts. Any suggestions?

That is not our unit. There is nothing to tap, it is all electronic. That is probably a Wema unit with a float. This is common with a float unit. Dennis Ferriello Snake River Electronics

Snake River Monitor
Terry: We have a a few of our units do this. This again is not the norm. Sometimes there is a short in a wire somewhere in the circuit or rarely it is the LCD itself. If the unit is 60 days old it is well within the warranty. Please send me your phone number and I will take care of it for you. We can't help you if you don't get a hold of us. Please mail me at Dennis@snake-river.org and send your phone number thanks Dennis Ferriello Sales Manager

Boy you guys have me jumping today but that is OK. We are here to help and make ALL OUR CUSTOMERS HAPPY. I just answered Terry's question. Sound like our unit. Again we have very few problems. Our units have the Hunter LOGO on them and if look at the back of the panel it will have our name and a production date. I am taking care of the Hunter warranties with Greg Emmerson and we are having VERY FEW warranties. We get some units back that there are no problems at all. The all black squares I have seen a couple of times. Dennis Ferriello Sales Manager Snake River Electronics
