5.1.2 Fuel Tank Capacity Monitoring
The fuel tank is equipped with a fuel level sending unit
(lower center component Fig. 5.1) which provides an
electrical signal to the fuel gauge to indicate its fill
level.
5.1.3 Fuel Tank Grounding System
The fuel tank and deck fill on your boat are electrically
grounded to the engine negative. This grounding system
is designed to prevent the discharge of static electricity
when fueling your boat. An authorized service technician
should inspect this system at least once each year.
5.1.4 Fuel Gauge
The fuel gauge is mounted on lower left corner of the
safety panel located on the aft lower inboard face of the
starboard cockpit seat (Fig. 5.3).
