Tige' 2006 ve with 17 hours and the gas gauge does not work! I am sure this has been talked about already but I am gonna rag on Tige'. I love my Boat and so far really don't think I would change anything But come on for the price they are charging us for these boats I can not beleive they can not give us a good gas gauge and a gas tank when full that doesn't splash out going down the road. I know guys say all boats have troubles and I am sure they do but My 2004 Regal that I just sold was perfect for three seasons and I had to put a good chunk of change on top of my sale to buy the Tige' so I am sure a recall is on it's way for our fuel gauges! lol and well I am at it whats up with the black comeing off the swivel rack bunges??

Surge the boat in reverse for a second to forced the gas forward in the tank. It should give you a fairly accurate reading for a second or two.
That's the only way I've found that I could get it to work.

I always have a 1/8 - 1/4 more gas in the tank then what it shows on the gauge. It make my buddies very nervous some times.

Mine will show full untill theres only about 1/8 left. It kinda makes you feel like your getting great economy for a while untill the big drop comes. Don't know of a good cure for this.
