The Rochester gauges can be removed, cleaned, and a new cork installed on them and they will work fine again for another 20 years. I rehabbed mine when I bought the boat 17 years ago and they are still working great.

Re: Freshwater level indicator
Got mine at the hardware store. Had to cut them down to the proper size.
But for fresh water, I bought a water meter. I reset it when I fill up and it counts down to zero. I always know how many gallons I have left on the digital readout next to the helm.. I also know how many gallons you used when you showered.

Re: Freshwater level indicator
One of my neighbors here in the marina just replaced his gages on a Krogen using these -

I was impressed enough that this is my plan to move forward and put gages on lower helm."A smooth sea never made a skillful sailor"

Re: Freshwater level indicator
Capt Ralph, No answer yet other than yours. I get good ohm readings off the identical sender for the STBD tank at various water levels so believe the high ohm reading of the PORT sender indicates a fault. It looks like the sender unscrews (NPT connection underneath?) and have tried with moderate torque without luck. want to verify its designed to unscrew with a big enough adjustable wrench before a put more muscle into it to break it free without breaking it bad.
Cheers,
Eric

Re: Freshwater level indicator
Sky, Can you provide brand, name or source of water meter that counts down or is resettable?
