I am pretty sure they are different from the new ones today. The ohm range is where they are different.

Don't know for certain, but recall the old VDOs go the opposite way, 0-90ohm I think.

The upside is that when you upgrade the dash you won't have to change that sender.

My issue now is that they gauge reads full. There is no fuel in the boat. It still reads full when I take off the sender wire on the back of the gauge. Any help?

I'll take a look when I get home. I have the part number of the VDO sender you need for the Factory guage to work. If I recall the correct one is about 80 bucks new.
