Performance & Practical Benefits
On the water, this gauge helps you stay ahead of fuel planning without overthinking it. Real changes stand out because the needle doesn’t bounce or wander. It’s easy to check during a long cruise, while idling through a marina, or before heading back in. Over time, it becomes a simple part of keeping the day smooth and predictable.

Why Buy OEM
OEM gauges read Mercury’s sender signals the way they’re intended, giving you consistent fuel-level info instead of drifting readings. They handle vibration, heat, and weather better than cheaper versions. Most boaters stick with OEM because it keeps things reliable.

FAQ
1. How do I know if the fuel gauge is failing?
If the needle sticks, jumps, or doesn’t change even as the tank empties, it’s likely wearing out.

2. Does this gauge need calibration?
Most boats read correctly right away, but checking sender wiring during install is always smart.

3. How does it handle saltwater?
A rinse after each run helps it last through saltwater seasons.

4. Anything important during installation?
Clean grounds and snug signal wiring help the gauge stay steady.

5. What does bad behavior usually look like?
You’ll see drifting readings, sudden drops, or numbers that don’t match how much fuel you’ve burned.
