I'll second Glenn on this. I've got a '78 Ranger and I know the float is stuck. It will give me a rough estimate that there is fuel in the tank, but I sure wouldn't rely on it, especially if I had to make a long run.
You could replace the float assembly, but it is easier on the wallet to just fill it up and run it to determine your consumption.
I am mostly on small reservoirs so I can always get back on the electric.
What are the poles I see attached to the transom next to the motor? I have only noticed them in the last few months watching some of the fishing shows.
Are they poles that can be driven down into the bottom to hold you in place instead of an anchor? How deep could they be, the pole looks like it only sticks up 4 feet or so above the transom.
Thanks,
JT
