Performance & Practical Benefits
Out on the water, this gauge helps you keep track of fuel without staring at it or second-guessing the reading. The steady sweep makes real changes easy to see, whether you’re cruising steady, drifting, or heading back in. It gives you a simple, reliable sense of how much range you’ve got left, which makes planning your day a whole lot smoother.

Why Buy OEM
OEM gauges read Mercury’s sender signals the right way, so the number you see stays accurate instead of drifting. They hold up better to heat, vibration, and weather than cheaper replacements. Most boaters stick with OEM because they’d rather trust the reading than wonder about it.

FAQ
1. How do I know if the fuel gauge is failing?
If the needle freezes, jumps, or doesn’t change as you burn fuel, it’s probably wearing out.

2. Does this gauge need calibration?
Most rigs read fine right away, though checking sender wiring during install is always a good move.

3. How does it handle saltwater?
A quick rinse after each run helps it hold up well through saltwater seasons.

4. Anything important during installation?
Clean grounds and tight signal wiring keep the sweep steady and honest.

5. What does inaccurate behavior usually look like?
You’ll see drifting readings, sudden drops, or numbers that don’t match your fuel burn.
