270 Fuel gauge sender

BellevilleMXZ

So I'm finding the gauge jumps around a lot, but also, seems to read low. Was reading roughly 1/8 tank , and could only get 235L in it. I know I can run it low on the gauge, but then I'm scared of running out. Where can I source a sender? Wasn't sure if this is a Rinker only part, or a assume available from the  supplier for Rinker?

Make sure all connections are good and on my Rinker the fuel senders are from .

I would replace the sender. My old sender wouldn't read above 3/4 of a tank when in fact I knew it was full. They're cheap to replace and very easy. I replaced it with a WEMA sender. Couldn't be happier

I have a 242 but bought a universal sender that could be used for tanks 6-12 inches deep and cut according to the directions. See the below link for the one I bought.

I think my tank was 7 inches deep.

Juat take the sender out and measure. After purchasing this Wema sender, I will never buy a different sender
