Rinker 272 Fuel Sending Unit Location??

rinker272

We recently purchased a 2001 Rinker 272 and noticed the fuel gauge is not working.  I don't remember seeing anything that looked like a 5 screw mount sending unit when I was cleaning the boat.  Does anybody know where the fuel sending unit is located, and how big of job it is to replace the sending unit on the 272?  Thanks for your help.

The tank is in front of your engine. You might have to remove the table holder in the floor to access the sending unit, or the panel that the seat rests on. If the center of the floor is removable, that might have to come up. If you could provide some pictures of the engine room, and the interior of your boat without the carpet, we will be able to give you some better direction. @Alswagg might also be able to give you some direction as to where it is located.

I replaced my sending unit last year on my 242. I bought a universal unit from West Marine and it worked with no issues. Follow the included installation instructions for proper measurements to cut for your tank.

Thanks Guys!  I know the floor panel you are referring to, and plan to remove it this weekend to test the sending unit.   

My fuel gauge is showing FULL all the time, so I am assuming it is faulty sending unit.  Any idea on what type of sending unit rinker uses on the 272?
