Re: Need advice
That's not many hours at all for an engine to have, so it should be in pretty good shape if it's been well maintained.
The fuel gauge could have and of a number of problems - first, it could be an electrical problem between the fuel tank sender and the gauge, second it could be power to the gauge, third it could be a bad sender in the fuel tank.
I'd recommend you post to the "Electrical" or "Mercruiser I/O" section of this board with a specific description of the gauge problem and also search the electrical section for a procedure to check for the problem.
