quick gauge question

how much work would it be to install a new gas guage in my '95 18ft Neptune fishing boat? The current guage has apparently just quit on me for good and not knowing how much gas is in the tank is pretty scary. Do I need a mechanic to run the wires deep into the gas tank or is it something I can install myself?		 OldReliable

The float assembly can usually be removed using a screw driver and a pair of pliers to remove the wire to the sending unit. Shown are two different types.

You mean a fuel tank sending unit. The gauge is the thing on your dashboard.

These things are short-lived, as is obvious if you look at how they are constructed and consider the constant motion they endure. And as is obvious if you consider the rapid turnover of spares at the chandler's.

So a proper boat makes this an easy change-out. You should have an access panel to get to it and to inspect your tank for corrosion. The replacement sender kit will have the instructions you need.
