Does anyone know if both switches need to be adjusted separated ?

Thanks !

Dam if i can remember correctly, just got out of the hospital last week, separate one side is the gauge side the other is the limit switch side.

Is this the type that uses two fingers to raise the motor up high.

You likely just need the starboard side sender disc, but it may be as simple as a disconnected wire in the engine compartment. The wires to the sender and solid black and have bullet connectors. It should connect to one solid black wire to ground and a brown and white wire to the gauge. If either is discponnected, it won't work.

If it's just the disc, you can buy it for like 20 bucks. Part number is 805134A4 They can be swapped easily by turning the wheel hard to port and popping the cap off the sender. They are vert challenging to calibrate though, so mark it carefully before you take any screws out or take the disc out.

You rarely need to replace the whole sender, BTW.

On an 18 year old boat, I would not worry about the guage not working... On my volvo, I replaced the send a few years back, and it worked great for a few more years..... it gone south again, and now, I just don't worry about it....
