Check out jmsonline.net and search "toggles" and "white rocker switches". They have a pretty good selection and the prices aren't bad.

Fuel Tank Senders - I just replaced mine here is how you do it.

1) remove old sender and measure to the bottom. My Gun was 14"

2) Call Phil at LipShip and give him the measurement. He will have custom senders made for your boat.

Phil also made mine a little short like 13". He said the gauges will work more accurate because when your at 1/4 tank you better be sitting in front of the gas pumps.

Good luck!

thanks for this. while emailing back and forth LipShip explained about differences in the rockers. they sell the rockers and toggles that have the (forgive me for the technical name) but where you attach each wire via screw like older style orig. rather than the ones you slide on... what are yalls experience with the rockers and toggles that have the "slide on" versions? LS said that with their experience running rough conditions the wires would slide off or loose connection causing issues..

id be more worried about your drives before id worry about a wire falling off a toggle switch if its that rough out. if you use good terminals i doubt you would have a problem

Mine are all just the slide on type and they have been in the boat for 7 years with not one falling off. You can't go wrong either way in my opinion.

male/female electrical spade connectors/terminals will work just fine,
just make sure you support the wiring harness so the weight and the bouncing of the harness does not pull on the terminals.

excuse my ignorance, but do you by chance have a pic that would show me what it takes to replace? One gauge is on half of tank when I run out and the other on a quarter tank. Will fuel senders solve that problem?
