I have a 2024 23SXSR. The transducer is not working on the Garmin 743 along with the fuel gauge. Apparently the fuel gauge is a known issue with Bennington and they still have not given my dealer an answer as to when it will be fixed... having a fuel gauge is pretty important! Anyone out there dealing with this as well?

OOC, did the transducer and fuel gauge not work since new, or they worked, but have since stopped working? Who said it is a known issue, as we haven’t really heard of it being one? Did they say what the known issue is with the fuel gauges on presumably some 2024’s? Very curious.
That aside, and not sure if this will help, but I have Mercury digital controls. I was having a “mystery” battery & electrical issue for a bit last summer. As a result of it, my basic guages were not getting power and working. My work around was in my mercury digital control screens, which were still working, had a fuel burn rate setting. So I used that to keep track of fuel usage until we figured out what was going on with the gauges (which ended up being the dealership didn’t reconnect the negative wire between battery 1 & 2 after I got new batteries last year).
Anyway, do you have any digital controls that have a fuel burn rate setting you could use until your dealership can get this repaired or replaced for you?
