2004 185 Sport. My fuel gauge stopped working properly. I say "properly" because it does register when power is on and goes to zero when power is off but with power on it stays at 3/4 (even after pulling tubers and wakeboards all weekend).  My plan was to just replace the sending unit but my neighbor says its a wiring problem. Seems to me if it was wiring (loose, open or short) the gauge would never come off empty. What say you folks?

I had the same problem in our 190. The guage was fine. First check the ground wire connection at the sending unit. If thats ok, replace the sending unit in the fuel tank. Cheap fix and it worked for us..Good luck.
