    Windlass Goes Up but not Down

    Drain gas tank to tell where empty is.

    I follow both the 1/3 rule and 1.5mpg rule on my boat. down to approx 5/8 of tank and turn around to start heading back assume 1.5 mpg, and at 80 gallons, most distance I can travel is 120 miles (boat gets better economy, and I have gone farther). typical trip is 60-100 miles

    Drain gas tank to tell where empty is.

    if its a float/rheostat sender, you simply bend the arm for adjustment if its an ultrasonic sender (used on some new boats), you plug the laptop in and reprogram the sender.
