If your other one work correctly and this one does not then there is an issue with the display, otherwise maybe the sender

Had I known I could not get factory replacement stickers for the fuel switch, gas and shift level.. I would have protected them and not removed them. Anyone know of a place to locate such decals, or have creative ways to replace them?

So it runs and flies across the water.. Now.. when I got home, I opened the seat to disconnect the battery and the smell of gas was terrible... Is that normal? Can I install a bilge blower in this thing?

No that is not normal, and even if you can install a blower (anything is possible) but need to fix the problem first. Might have a crack in the fuel tank

I agree 100% on finding and fixing the source. I would like to add a bilge blower though. Must not be the "in" thing to do because I cannot find any pics or info about blowers and pwcs

Maybe lay some paper towels down low and see if any get dripped on. If you don't have a leak you shouldn't need a blower

Im thinking about removing the fuel line that goes from the tank to the on/off switch and using my outdrive pressure pump (its hand powered) and pumping a couple of lbs of pressure into the lines and spraying with soapy water

I will look the fuel tank over as well. But I did put gas in it 2 weeks before actually taking it to the lake and never had a fuel smell, BUT.. during the test ride, it could have possibly cracked the fuel tank. So will test that as well

Sounds like a good plan
