I've got an '88 V20. Does anyone know the depth of the standard 60 gallon fuel tank for replacing the sending unit? I know I could pull the current one out, but I want to avoid the hassle of doing it multiple times so I can continue to use the boat while I'm waiting for the new one to come in :)
 
Most of the sending units are universal, they have a standard mounting flange and are adjustable. Should be a one rain day replacement with minimal downtime
 
I've been browsing online, and most of the ones I've found are built to a specific size. I've found one that says it will fit 6"-24" tanks. That's enough, right? I couldn't even take a guess at the actual size of the tank, but I can't imagine there being a tank bigger than that in the hull. Or is my perception completely off?
 
E,   I have an '88 also.   The tank measures 15-3/4" from the top surface (mounting flange surface) to the bottom of the tank.   I purchased a gauge from these people -  a little more expensive -  but the reports are very good on these units.   I havent installed mine yet.   It is a stationary vertical rod (hence the tank depth is very important) with a floating puck that moves up and down on the rod with the gas level.

Thanks all for the help! I'm going to get this done in the next few days, sounds like all should go well now.
 
Request a cataloge from them, there's even more I got my eye on a bunch of stuff for both boats... Look at the dashboard gallery cool stuff....Ted
