Default 2005 42 Fountain Fuel Gauge Failed

Help! What a great boat this has been with moderate freshwater usage and meticulous care, but now my gas gauge on one side doesn't work. Stays on empty. I jumped the pink wire to ground on the dash gauge and got full scale so it looks like its the sender. Got to the sender and it says, line by line:

FULL 1/05 EMPTY
Fountain 7827B cgf-12.5-ws-
12v-gaf/mercsg-3w-isol-precal-5h
blk=Neg wht=Send red=Pos

What does this mean and where can I get one?

Thank you, On Time

They make most of the senders for the retailers and will sell direct at about half they price. CENTROID PRODUCTS - Electronic Fuel and Water Senders

I had them "attempt" to make me a custom one for my Prerunner with a fuel cel calibrated to the factory Toyota gauge. Provided them per their instruction every electrical measurement for the whole sweep of the gauge and all factory specs of it. After literally 4 times of sending it back and forth to them (two of those it was replaced) they literally gave up and refunded me. What a total joke I would not trust $hit from them total garbage. Good luck.
