Well - I've found the answer.  I requested a new fuel guage from my dealer, it arrived today so I plugged it in and viola - everything works.  I feel like I should have just done this from the beginning but sometimes it's as simple as a ground.  I suppose if everyone just sent everything back...

Thanks Alicedream.  I bought an edson powerknob for the steering wheel a while back and it's been awesome for turns and docking.  What a product edson makes.  Still a little heavy but totally manageable.  I charter my Benni and have been contemplating an autopilot for return trips in the dark...

What was the cost for the install?  I think I'd like that as well.  I've got the f200 and it is heavy turning when the boat is loaded.

I disconnected (cut) the ground wire to the sending unit before the connector at the end of the sending unit, with the ignition 'on' and the gauge drops to E, well, 1/4 full is where it stops.  Reconnect the ground and it goes directly to F, well, 1/4 past F.  It's a brand new sending unit...

Hey - I've read through the good times that others have had with fuel guage/sender issues.  I'm having the same problem.  My fuel gauge reads above full when the ignition is turned on, though it's not full.  Sometimes it works, but it will only be for an hour or so.  I called my mechanic and he...

Man do people stare at my rack, lol.  I have to tell them - 'Hey, my eyes are down here, not up there.'  It has been as functional as it has been aesthetic.  Our chartering biz is starting to take shape on a Bennington - how cool is that!

This is a game changer - so cool!

Not yet.  The way it's designed, the actual 'platform' cantilevers forward from the curved vertical post about a foot and a half and the rear vertical post about two and a half feet (it's 6' front to back and 8'-6 side to side) so the paddleboard only has about 3' cantilevered off the platform...

I posted some pics in the gallery with a higher res if you wanted to take a look.

Turned out very cool. I'm really happy with it. The paddle boards are really easy to get on and off - I think it's going to turn some heads.

Finally getting ready for the install. It's been powder coated a gloss black with a clear coat uv protectant. I haven't seen it but Tuesday morning it'll be done. I'll post some pics with the paddle boards secured once I figure it out.
