I mentioned this in a reply to another post, but the only thing holding up delivery of my new boat is an issue with the fuel reading. My boat has the VeeThree R3 digital gauges (which I am finding out is fairly new and not all that common). Originally, they were able to get fuel, voltage and trim to work, but could not get any engine readings such as tach. It turns out that the power connection for the NMEA 2000 network was not properly seated and once they fixed this the engine data started working as expected. However, at that point, the fuel level started bouncing from nearly full to zero at about 30 second intervals. The service manager feels confident that when it is accurate when it reads, but is not sure why it is now dropping to zero and then comes back up.
Bennington is sending 2 sensors which hopefully will be there today - a fuel level sensor and another sensor I hadn't heard of (maybe fuel lodder sensor?). The service team didn't seem overly confident that this will actually resolve the issue so curious if anyone has any other thoughts?
They've already checked the sending unit and it tests fine. It's strange to me that it seemed to be working okay until they got power to the NMEA network- could that somehow be related?
