2000, 180BW. This is a new boat for me. Purchased with a full tank of gas....so I thought! Ran it for around 3 hrs. with the needle pegged on FULL then had trouble starting. Turns out I was out of gas. Threw in 10 gallons (portable cans... did not want to put back on trailer to go gas up) Gauge still read full. This went on for a couple of days putting in 5 gals. at a time. Then I decided to clean contacts on on top of the tank and gauge started to register but was all over the place. All this to ask should I replace the sending unit first or the gauge. Thanks.
