Replace Fresh water sending unit and gauge

[bigray]

My fresh water gauge works when it wants to. Any idea on replacing the guage and sending unit? Seems it would be tricky to find a sending unit for that.

It's hard to tell how much water I have. When I'm boondocking I sometime just want 1/2 a tank of water.

If you'd just quit stuffing your Playboy Centerfolds in the filler hole, and just spring for a new gizzmo..... those boobs wouldn't be stuck all over your sender contacts..... sheesh.

On a (slightly) more serious note........

When I first got Fred, the onboard water didn't work at all (pump ran, but dry), so I removed the tank (it was fulla clogging pink, green and fuzzy white stuff you do NOT want to know about!!!).  There isn't a "sender", per se..... there's a vertical series of 5 little sensor gizmos screwed through the tank wall, each with 2 wires to it.  If there's water up to one... it conducts so the guage for that level lights up.

The terminal connections were all pretty cruddy and I cleaned 'em up.  If yours are like that, might wanna try the same thing.  Could be all your problem is.  

I'd imagine the holding tanks work the same way.

Also,
check the connection on the switch you use to check the water level - mine didn't work at first either - I took apart that whole gizmo - carefully cleaned all the connections, and then all worked well - got lucky I guess..........

have not started my Clipper in almost a month.........it's staring at me with a very sad face............
