88 242 Fuel guage questions
I have an 88 242 with a 128 or 123 gallon Fuel tank if I read the plate on it correctl,y my eyes are not what they were when I was younger. The guage has Green and Red and it looks like Green is for Full down to 1/4 tank and then Red for 1/4 tank to empty.
Is the guage fairly accurate? When I get down to Red (idling) should I still have a quarter tank? I plan to figure this out by trial and error but the boat doesnt get used very much. Someone described it as a "big ass girl" which it sure feels like with a full tank of gas, 4 adults and a Rotti at 6,200' when trying to get on plane.

Not sure about your particular guage, but I'm pretty sure the gas tanks are all about 100g on 242s. Mine definitely is. Here's a pic the previous owner took of it...
