There is a fix for the gas guage ! A $ 20 float kit from
http://www.seadoosource.com/fuelfloat.html
You need to remove the grey electric box to make the fix, takes about 1 hour for everything. You do NOT need to remove the wires from the electrical box, just lay it off to the side. Be sure to mark the 4 fuel lines before you remove them. Also be sure the completely re-seat the entire pickup baffle otherwise the electric box will sit on it and break it. The float kit looks too small but it works fine.
The grey electric box is held on with 2 lock nuts (not metric). Loosen them slowly and carefully otherwise they may start to rotate the bolt, if that happens you will have to hold the bolt with jam nuts while you loosen the lock nut.
Do not hold it with vise grips, it is very difficult to replace (requires seat removal)
Be careful disassembling the pickup baffle to replace the float. Don't pry the bottom cap off, you need to push in the little tabs gently, the plastic will be old and may be brittle.
You do not need to empty the fuel tank. Put a towel over the opening and ground yourself, this is not a high risk operation.
