Hi - 2004 Hunter 41 with Snake river display. Port water tank monitor working fine but starboard shows empty and won;t allow calibration - get an error message. I noticed that there is this loose wire (see the red highlight that was just dangling off a small "box", with a small flat coper plate on it. Could
this be the problem somehow ?
Water tank sensor malfunction - loose wire ?

Thank you - you woudl not happen to know what sensors these are and where to get information on them - the monitor works just dine with the fuel and waste water garages and the second water tank - its just this one - somehow I think that that exposed wire with the small copper plate should be somewhere else - the sensor module is in such a tight awkward position I cant get at it, and don;t want to rip out a connection by accident. Its a small rectangular "box" with some wires going in and out of it - one seems to be connected very far down Thanks Jim
The original Snake River Tank monitors that Hunter installed have two problems: 1. They've been obsolete for at least 20 years, and 2. Hunter didn't know how to install them, so they've always had problems. So instead of trying to fix whatever is causing the current problem, I'd replace it with a SCAD monitor. They're top rated, reasonably priced and available from a number of retailers including Amazon. They also provide a continuous contents level instead of the usual 1/4, half, 3/4, full.

Hi all - and thanks. Don;t want to replcate everything and found the part - these are the metal foil type that go on the outside of the tank - now the big question - has anyone done this ? - it seems like you can't get to the outside of the tank without taking it out - and that looks very involved - anyone have an experience with this ?
Look at your holding tank foil system. It will help you visualize what is going on on the water tank. Itis the same set up. On our boat, the foil was coming off the poly tanks when we purchased it at year 5. Poor adhesion. So I repositioned the foil, and stuck it to the tank and the used single expanding foam to keep the foil pressed to the side of the tanks. I did that 16 years ago, and the snake river system is still working great.
Hi - any advise or experience removing the water tank ? I actually can't see how I will be able to get to the side to re-do the foil strips
