I've had the new Moeller fuel tank with WEMA sender in the Bayliner all season. I can say without question that the gas gauge is much more steady with the WEMA reed switch sender than conventional "float on a lever" style senders. Even in mild chop, the gauge stays steady. In rough water, the gauge would move around but it was not swinging wildly, it moved in short amounts and would hold position for a second or two before moving back.
When I ordered the new fuel tank, I was given the choice of the WEMA or Rochester (lever style) sender. I asked what the difference was and they said the WEMA is preferred, and the price is the same. So I went with WEMA. After market, the WEMA is more expensive.
If you are thinking about changing senders to the WEMA model to reduce gauge fluctuation, I say go for it.
