    Fuel gauge calibration

    Seasick, I opened the 2 deck plates and it is Exactly as you said! I disconnected the sender and attached a variable resistor to the leads going to the CLPlus. ABYC senders have a resistance value of 33 to 240 ohms that represent full to empty. As I varied the resistance thru that range, sure...

    Fuel gauge calibration

    OK, that makes sense, you would want the pickup to be at the low end of the tank while under way, and if the sender is also in the back, then the gauge would tend to read false high on plane with the bow up, right? The calibration procedure must start with an empty tank. I can siphon the gas...

    YES! SkunkBoat and seasick, I get it. I've been staring at seasick's awesome diagrams for an hour thinking my tank angle was opposite because at rest water flows down the deck toward the aft drain holes. BUT, bilge water collects midship due to the SeaV2 hull design, so I bet the front of the...

    Fuel gauge calibration

    I have a brand new Fisherman 236 with a 115 gal fuel tank. The Command Link Plus display never shows a fuel level between 95 and 115. It stays at FULL for a long time then drops right to 80 or so. I watched it at the fuel dock: It started at 80, then went to 85, 90, 95 briefly, then FULL. I then...

    Bilge water in new boat

    Hi all. I just joined this forum, first post. Took delivery of my brand new Fisherman 236 a few months ago, awesome machine . . . I've read lots of posts about bilge water, accumulation midship, etc., but most have to do with something breaking, so I'll use new thread. I was told by my...
