Does anyone know the fuel gauge ohm values Sea Ray was using in 1993? The PO had the fuel sender replaced with an American Standard sender (Full = 33.5 ohms, Mid = 103 ohms, Empty = 240 ohms). I measured the ohm values at the sender. Full measured at 33 ohms. 60% Full measured at 90 ohms. My guess would be that 50% Full would be around 103 ohms, which is what it should be.

The gauge is reading Full at 33 ohms. The gauge is reading 12% Full (1/8) at 90 ohms (not 60% Full). It seems like the gauge is working but is using a different resistance standard. With the current situation, my gauge reading of Empty is equal to half a tank remaining and my gauge reading of Full is equal to a full tank.
