[QUOTE="aceranch1, post: 488735, member: 26207"] I’ve got a year old G3 Sportsman. I understand it has a warranty but it’s the wrong time of year to put it in the shop. The other day while out on the lake I noticed my fuel gauge was pegged at totally empty. I panicked especially since the 22 gal tank was full when I set out. I opened the hatch and confirmed a full tank. I started for the dock as a precaution and noticed the speedometer was dead as well. These are on the same gauge. My separate tach and tilt gauge were good to go as were my other electronics. I checked the hot input on back of the gauge with a multimeter using the boat as a ground and it was getting 12V. That tells me either bad gauge or possibly bad ground from the gauge, does that sound right? Any suggestions please! Thanks!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk [/QUOTE]
