I’ll go out there tomorrow and clean it off. Thanks so much everyone

It’s pretty dirty on top of the tank. That’s another project. I see wema on the sender. Is there a way to determine the length without removing? I’d like to remove only once if possible. Tries to upload a picture buts too large.

I took the pink wire to the sender, had to cut it, and put it to the ground on the tank with the green wire. That was the closest ground. I did not do anything at the switch panel.

Okay so the tank reads full by putting the pink wire to the ground. Does that mean the sender is bad?

Hi, Does it matter what fuel sender that i buy to replace what i have in a 2003 265 X? I just filled up the main tank until it almost overflowed and the gauge is blinking one bar. The aux tank is showing 4 bars but i have no way to confirm that this is accurate. When i tap on the main tank...

You are going to find that every project that you want to do has been done and it’s probably documented on this site. It’s super helpful and the people are too. i Suggest that you search and ask away. Good luck and have fun! Break Out Another Thousand

Got everything hooked up. Now I’ve got to figure out active captain to update the charts. I’m not a very good app guy Never had Garmin before. I’ll tackle the autopilot next. Almost done for this year

Yes, I plan to put the pump where you did inside the starboard tackle box in the cockpit. On mine, it appears to be about 8’ from the helm but I can easily make that a longer run (just buy 2 20’ sections for example). I can shorten the hose to the shadow drive to be behind the gauges (great...

Does anyone have any thoughts on my drawing in post #38? Or should I create my own thread for more visibility? I want to get everything ordered so that I can get started on the AP install. Thanks so much!

Got the switches all wired up, the gauges switched over and wired and cut out for the 2 12” panels. Radar is installed too. Should get wrapped up this week and then I’ll start the auto pilot which I’m kind of nervous about. Won’t be long now!

new wire marine does custom panels

The 100lb gas spring just got here. What a difference! I can lift it with one finger now. Gotta install the latches but I might not need them. I’ll see. Moving on….

I found this in the folder that my previous owner gave me. Maybe this can help?

The 2 gauges with blue tape are the tachometers. The gauge with three plugs used is the speedo and the final gauge is the fuel management. Hopefully this gets you going in the right direction

My panel is ripped apart right now so I can take pictures if it helps. My motors are 2005 f225’s so not sure if it will help though. They are the old round style gauge. Just let me know

i will be starting this project next week. What type of gasket did you put behind the panels? I assume I can get something from Home Depot that will work. Thanks!

I’ve got nuthin’ but I’m so excited for you! Congratulations on the maiden ocean voyage. Mine is on my lift and the new wire marine panels get here monday%. Hopefull, I get the electronics installed quickly and can join in the beginning of firsts. I’m super excited to run my 265
