Ground the sending unit wire directly. The gauge should go full scale. If it does, then it's probably the sender. If not, check gauge power (because you already changed the gauge).

I also am thinking of replacing my sending unit. It reads full until I burn off about 40 gallons. I'd like to find something more accurate. Any suggestions anyone?
Thanks,
Steve

The Livorsi sender is the way to go for accuracy.

Artie, when you store the boat for the winter make sure you use all of you gas. Leave the tank empty for the winter. You should also be using Startron in your fuel.
