Well I finally got round to replacing my faulty fuel tank sending units on my "89 300DA. What a PITA! Thanks to Sundancer for telling me about the trick to removing the panels from the storage compartments for access. He forgot to mention that you end up working one handed holding the light with the other and with one eye shut to focus on the thing LOL. I cannot believe that in 1989 Sea Ray was installing sending units with cork floats. I also can't believe that the floats are the same size as the hole in the tank. I had a tough time getting them out of the tanks. I hope I didn't get any cork bits in the gas, maybe I should stock up on fuel filters.
Now I at least have some way to know about how much gas I have.
Does anybody have any recommendations for a good fuel flow meter for me? I have a pair of Northstar F210s on the boat now but the transducers are both shot and Northstar doesn't make them any longer, discontinued. Their solution is to sell me a much more expensive unit, I think not. I don't trust their transducers and I question how long they will support that unit. Mine are only two years old.
I need to run new speaker cable to starboard cockpit speaker, it appears to have a break somewhere. Anybody know how they routed the cables from the port side stereo in the cabin to the starboard cockpit speaker? I haven't figured out how they crossed to the helm.
