Gas Gauge moving backwards help!

[magtec]

The gas gauge in my boat all of a sudden is pinned all the way to the left. I replaced the gauge the same thing still happens.<br /><br />Can this be a sending unit problem

Sender or shorting wire.Dont leave it hooked up or it'll stuff the new gauge

Do you have gas in the tank?

Sending units go bad far more than gauges. It is also possible that a wire came loose at the sending unit or somewhere in it's run has been cut.

bad grounds can cause that. Run a temporary one to try....

magtec,<br /> Did you ever find out what this problem was? I'm asking because my friends boat is doing the same exact thing and I just noticed it. When he turns the key to "ON", the gas gauge will actually move more towards "empty" if that's possible <br /><br />Thanks in advance.

Moving to Boats. This question falls into many different boat types.
