Default 32 Fuel tank sender???

Anybody replaced a fuel level sender on a 32 or know what the depth of the fuel tanks is on a 32??
I've only had one sender/gauge working for a long time and pretty sure the sender on that one went out this weekend.

My friend Mason that bought Brett's 2002 32 AT replaced his over the winter. You can contact him on FB to find out for sure what length he used.

After some help and discussion on the AT FB page, it looks like AT has used a few different types of fuel level senders over the years.

One person used a 13" like this and said it was 1/4" off the tank bottom https://www.cpperformance.com/p-7441...l-senders.aspx but had not tested its accuracy yet.


Mine is a 3 wire exactly like this Livorsi Marine Fuel & Water Senders which is no longer made with the calibration screws.
They now automatically calibrate or can be calibrated electronically. I talked to Livorsi and they confirmed these senders are made for them by Centroid and Centroid also confirmed this. I had talked to Centroid today, but they needed more info about tank depth than I had at the time.
Pretty sure I'm going to order 2 new 12" deep ones from them tomorrow. Worst case is the gauge will show empty when I have one more inch of fuel left.

I like the reed switch senders better than the adjustable wet sensors. Over time the wet sensors' dashpots go bad or become flakey and you have no idea how much fuel you have.
