F40/40 water tank gauge

Post by amatuana »

Folks,

I can not find a tank gauge on my water tank. There is no sender that I can see on the top of the tank.

Am I missing something?

Any suggestions on a gauge? I am looking for something simple like what is on the fuel tank.

Thanks- John

I had to drill a hole on the top of my tank to hold a gauge. I got one that used the same resistance range as my fuel gauge and then got a corresponding remote reading 2-position gauge that I mounted at the nav stat so that I can just flip and switch and see the tank levels. Note that I have a gauge-level to capacity guide on the gauge so that I can tell how much is actually in the tank as it's far from linear.

I'm headed to the boat this afternoon and will provide vendor details.
