Tournament 205
Recently purchased my first Grady-White, a 2008 Tournament 205.
I can't tell if the fuel indicator gauge in the cockpit is working or not.
Does it need to be turned on on the Switch Panel?
Right now, it looks as if the fuel is full, but I've put in a few hours on the engine and the gauge does not change.
Thanks. Charlie

You didn't mention if you physically started with a full tank?

Depending on how hard you were using the engine, it may not quite start dropping yet.

Pop the access deck plate for the fuel sender and remove the pink wire. Give it a few seconds and the gauge (key on) should drop to zero.
