The fuel gauge on my 17.5 spirit seems to be stuck reading four bars. ANyone have any experience with this? I'm wondering if there is a reset or if it can be unhooked and then reconnnected. If something is bad is there a way to tell if it's the sender in the tank or the guage on the counsel??

It's probable the fuel sender unit in the tank. Its may have fallen victim to the ethanol in the fuel.

Not likely to be gauge, go to WEMA USA webs site for troubleshooting guide, easy enough to test level sender with a multimeter at the deck plate opening in the cockpit.

Read the post in General Discussion. Same thing applies for analog and digital gauges
