When tanks are full, set the full screw so the guage is a little past full.
When you get down to 1/4 tank or so, go fill it up with fuel. If the tank is 160 gallons, you should have 40-45 gallons left.
If you have more or less, the next time it gets down to 1/4 tank on the guage, adjust the empty screw accordingly.
Do all this with the boat in the water for the best results. My fuel guage reads almost a 1/4 tank different on the trailer.
My fuel guage and a friend's are pretty accurate when I set them the way I described.
