Has anyone installed tank gauges that work? If so which manufacture? I would like to install a fresh water, holding tank, and fuel(diesel) gauge set. Any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks

Check out Accuguage in the chandlery...
I think it's still there...I've got them on my boat, and they work well.

We've owned several boats and Accuguage
has worked the best and IMHO are very reliable. If you have plastic tanks I think they are the way to go..

In the process
I'm currently in the process of installing the Accugage system on my C30. The PO had purchased it but didn't complete the installation, now I know why. Without removing the hoses from the tank there's no way to lift it to install the foil strips to the side. What I'm resigned to doing no is to cut the fiberglass wall on one side to gain access to the plastic tank. One other thing I've found is that the system is preprogrammed from the factory, so if you want to make any changes you have to send it back to them for updates. All in all, I think I'm going to be happy once the install is complete. Good luck, Jim
