Twin 5.3 mercury
I noticed at the end of the season my port gas readings were not even close to be the same . I thought maybe one my tabs were frozen and dragging the economy way down. I checked the operation of the tabs they seemed ok . On the final fill up before i winterized it I filled both and even before I go out of the harbor the tank was down to 90% and other at 100% . Can’t figure it out. Would appreciate any ideas
 
That’s a lot of gas!
Is it a problem with the gauge, or are you really losing that much gas?
If you lost 10% of your fuel from the tank that quickly it would likely be a pretty serious leak and you should be able to smell it.
Can you sniff around down there and look for staining that might indicate a fuel leak? That much gas leaking should show some kind of sign.
I’d avoid running the boat until you figure out if you have a leak.
