I have a 2003 cobia witha bad fuel gauge it shows about 80% full on the digital gauge but doesn't go up or down no matter what amount of fuels in it .
Any ideas on what could cause this or how much to fix
Thanks tony

Re: Fuel gauge not working

Did ya pull the sending unit and take a look? could be stuck. Pop it out, clean it, and move the lever up/down while watching the gauge.. does it go up/down? If not, it might just be a bad sending unit all together.

Check terminal's and connector's 1st before pulling unit. 9 out of ten times moisture and corrosion got to them. If so clean and coat. If not go to step two.

or look at the nearly 60 other fuel gauge related issues. The "Search" function works really well.
