Ditch the gauge and get a stick -- see Dan y below
In Response To: Fuel gauge, ideas please? ()

I never could figure out how you could trust an electronic or whatever gauge on a tank that tapers from top to bottom (and forward to aft) as most boat tanks do.
when such a gauge says 1/2, the tank is likely 1/4 full at best.
Also, log your engine hours between fill-ups.
