Thanks guys for all the advice and tips. Job done. I was actually amazed when I got to the gauge it was still working. Pearson does not make it easy to get to it.

Hi Mike – PO had done the same as on the other thread – ie replaced the original gauge with electronic sender and mounted display in easy view from the helm.

Must admit its a bit flaky on the readings so I do need to have a look at connections etc but is still a better solution than the original setup.

Thanks Neil…did you do it yourself?

[Mike Freauf]

Cheers, that is exactly what I will do!

[Mike Freauf]

Great idea I am going to try that!

[Mike Freauf]

Hey Neil, hope your well, have not seen you for a while.

What are you using on Blue P for a fuel gauge….I am trying to get Clint to figure something out.

Also Bryan, do you know if there is a kit available to replace the current peep hole fuel gauge that the 424s have?

[Mike Freauf]

Cheers. That was very helpful. I am a long distance cruiser. Currently that is how we keep track of fuel is using engine hours on our 300 litre fuel tank. However, previous owner had installed an extra fuel bladder under the masters bunk….so when transferring fuel to main tank, this is problematic.

The peep hole…is that a good area to be removed and place sender down into that area to install new unit?

Sounds like the fuel gauge window as Rich mentioned. I’m attempting to upload some photos to see if the site is going to allow it. If you see some photos below, then there is something wrong with your particular image file.

Thanks for that…it appears on mine that the plexiglass on top is too crazed to see through. Does anyone have a trick to fix the craze so I can see if the thing even works, or better yet a diagram of what it all looks like below the hole. Trying to figure out a better way for calculating fuel on board.
