A “digital” gauge attached to the same old sender will not be any more accurate. I have used plenty of flowmeters that actually count fuel used and absolutely love them. One airplane I used to fly had it connected to the GPS and it would set off an alarm if you didn’t have enough fuel to reach the programmed destination. If you think boat fuel gauges are bad, airplanes with wide flat tanks are REALLY bad and if you have any dihedral you can either read the top half of the tank or the bottom half. That said, I have never bought one for my boat because they all seem to not be accurate or even work at all at the very low flow rates common on sailboats. If anyone knows of one that works in the 0.25-2 GPH range I would love to get it. Joe Della Barba Coquina C&C 35 MK I

Actually just a digital fuel gauge. Tired of the analog being wrong (even after replacing gauge and sending unit). Thought digital might be more accurate. David F.

Do you mean a fuel tank level gauge, or a digital fuel consumption gauge? The latter would be very interesting to have, but would require two flow meters to monitor the fuel intake, and the return, at least on most engines I think. It would be really nice to be able to watch consumption vs RPM in order to find the most efficient cruising speed. Looks like this one would do the trick, but a less costly generic meter might also be made to work. https://www.maretron.com/products/ffm100.php<https://protect2.fireeye.com/url?k=36c67f46-6bb5ec27-36c65631-ac1f6b44e86e-0245ad867a768300&q=1&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.maretron.com%2Fproducts%2Fffm100.php> -- Shawn Wright shawngwri...@gmail.com<mailto:shawngwri...@gmail.com> S/V Callisto, 1974 C&C 35 https://www.facebook.com/SVCallisto On Wed, Sep 4, 2019 at 12:25 PM David Risch via CnC-List <cnc-list@cnc-list.com<mailto:cnc-list@cnc-list.com>> wrote: All, Any experience?
