2007 2320

Just recently bought my 2007 2320. I forgot to ask what size the fuel tank is? Also, the fuel gauge always reads full when on the water. Any help is appreciated.

I'm guessing the capacity is 150gal.; at least that's what mine is. If your referring to the "bar-type" indicator on the gauges, I agree that while running it is pretty useless. Mine reads much better when sitting at rest, but the most accurate gauge is what I read on the Yamaha (square) consumption gauge. That reading has always been spot-on.

That is due to you having a swing arm style fuel sending unit. Fuel is sloshing around and the float jumping up and down. This is moving a potentiometer that sends a signal to the gauge.

Open the deck hatch .....Look at the tag on the tank.

Thanks for that. You're right I popped the hatch today and looked on the tank. Idk why I didn't do that earlier. I guess it's easier to jump on the internet. I only have the Yamaha fuel gauge. I guess I'll try and replace the sending unit.

Clean around the tank real good....Then put witness marks on the tank and sender....This will help you align the new one. It only fits 1 way.

Also be careful when you remove those screws.
Pretty sure they are aluminum and it would be easy to wring the heads off if there is any corrosion on them.

I would also just clean the connections first just to make sure, especially the ground. These gauges also usually average the readings so like the others said, make sure your checking it after it's been on a few minutes sitting or at least idling. If possible position the swing arm so it's swinging up towards the front of the tank. That will help with the accuracy some while on plane.

And put anti-seize on them when you put it back together!
