I have just bought a 93 208 with a 175 Yamaha. I had the boat serviced and tuned up. The engine is running finr but the fuel light is flashing on the dash board. Oil and gas are full.

Fuel light flashing
The fuel light at the bottom of the Yamaha dash. The gage has three sections I think voltage, time and fuel. There is alittle gas can icone that is flashing all the time.

You don't say what type guages you have but I suspect the indication is low fuel. If the tank is indeed full or close to full, you probably have a bad sender, bad wire, bad ground or bad connection somewhere. Sender failures are common
Flashing fuel gage
I just filled the boat up. There was a kicker enginge that i had spring point take off. i wondering if this has somthing to do with it. The fuel gage says full.

I dont know. It seems that it is a low fuel gage. I even put gas in it just to make sure it was full. Maybe it is a bad senser like seasick said. I just put alott of money in the boat to make sure it was right. I just want to make sure i am not doing something wrong. By the way i love the boat and i am keeping her on Sebago.

For what it's worth, the only blinking indicators we have on our Yamaha gauges are for overheat, low 2-stroke oil in main tank, low 2-stroke oil in remote tank. We have digital gauges.
well check it out, i think its the bottom led flashing on you fuel gauge also like seasick said. Where did you buy the boat, will they fix it for you? I got my boat at spring point years ago but if thats where you got it they should fix it. sounds like a bad ground, might be fixed in 2 mins. And welcome to the grady life, I keep my boat in Harpswell.
The multi bar digital fuel gauge will flash when at one bar . What I don't understand is how you can get a low fuel warning and a full tank indication. We need to know what the flashing alarm is ( what type gauge and what area on the gauge is flashing

Yeah I don't know how that's possible to have the flashing bar with a full fuel indication. My fuel gauge bar is currently flashing with a full tank but that's because the sending unit needs to be replaced and the gauge reads empty. A picture would definitely help.
If you have two tanks there is a selector switch at the helm
If you select the one thats empty it will flash (no bars)
If you dont have two tanks then you need to find out if its the gauge or sender
With the ignition key on, disconect and ground the pink wire that is atached the the sending unit to a known good ground
The gauge should read full (bad sending unit)
That how i found out my problem
good luck
