Performance & Practical Benefits
On the water, this gauge makes it easier to plan your day. The reading doesn’t jitter or drift, so you can trust what it shows when you’re cruising, idling into a marina, or deciding whether to make another run. You don’t have to watch it closely—just a quick glance tells the story. It’s a small thing that takes some of the guesswork out of the day.

Why Buy OEM
OEM gauges follow Mercury’s sender signals faithfully, which keeps the readings consistent. They tend to hold up better after seasons of vibration, sun, and weather. Most boaters stick with OEM because it keeps things simple and accurate.

FAQ
1. How can I tell if the fuel gauge is failing?
If the needle stops moving smoothly, freezes in one spot, or jumps around for no reason, it’s probably wearing out.

2. Does this gauge need calibration?
Usually it reads correctly right away, though checking sender wiring during install is always smart.

3. How does it hold up in saltwater?
A quick rinse after your run helps it last through saltwater use without trouble.

4. Anything worth double-checking during installation?
Clean ground and signal wires help the needle stay steady and honest.

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