Yup. I replaced the fuel sending unit. Calibrated 5 gals at a time (20 gal. tank), still don’t trust it. Below ¼ add fuel. Added a 15 gallon bladder that I fill the main tank with via fuel pump. Attempted recalibration again this year. Dunno results.

At each refill, once after a humiliating tow and another in our home harbor with a dinghy to the dock and a Jerry can run, the tank would only take ~25G.

It is as simple as unscrewing the fitting coming off the top of the tank. It was just a straight translucent white plastic tube extending down about 11.5 inches from the top plain of the tank. The end is cut at a slight angle and there is no filter or screen. What is your indication of "running out"? My fuel gage stops responding at about 1/4 tank and I believe that the level sensor arm is bottoming out on a tank baffle so as to prevent it from lowering fully.
