Boat Fuel Sender Replacement - Sea Ray Sundancer

Shortly after we bought our 1998 Sea Ray 370 Sundancer last year, I discovered that the starboard side fuel sender wasn't reading correctly, so I decided to replace it. Normally, this would be/should be a very straightforward process, but due to a faulty replacement unit, it became a three week long exercise in frustration.

Ultimately, I sourced another replacement unit which fixed the issues. Again, the job is quite straightforward and this video shows all the steps I took to get the job done.

For a look at all of the projects I've done (continue to do) on this beautiful Sea Ray Sundancer, as well as on our previous boats, have a look at nearly 100 projects in my 'How I Did It - Boat Repairs And Upgrades' playlist, here;    • How I Did It - Boat Repairs & Upgrades  

Be sure to check out the rest of our 'Summer Cruise 2022' series, as we cruised for 5-1/2 weeks through much of Ontario, Canada's lovely 240 mile/386 km Trent Severn Waterway and even reaching the Rideau Canal for a few days! Full playlist can be found here;    • Summer 2022 Cruise
