1. Fuel gauge.. Not such a big deal but I would like to know how much gas I got. A few weeks ago I went down to the keys and I put about 160 bucks of fuel. That was a little over 30 something gallons gauge read E. The spec sheet says the 20SF should have a 40 gallon fuel tank from factory. Well I ran out of gas and quite fast i might add, any suggestions on where to start ?

Maybe you went farther than what you thought you did?
Any smell of gas in the bilge area?
Check connections on the hose and on the hose itself and under the cowling
Some stole your gas?
Check the connections on the gauge and to the tank


2. Lower unit missing a screw..... I changed the water pump before going down to the keys and put in a new fin zinc (the one over the prop) well it seams that they have vanished along with the screw the goes upward holding up the lower unit. What type of screw do I need to replace that ? Size ?

Does it use a lock washer? Or lock tite on the threads?

3. My float switch for the bilge pump is dead..... How do I replace that ? just pull it from its base remove whats there and attach a new one with what ?

Buy a new one and replace the old one
