Sorry Brian, it's gone. Tight lines, Paul

E38 Fuel gauge sender My sender is/was a vertical tube with a float on two rails inside. Just wondering where I might find a replacement... Thanks for the replies people! P-

Hello, My fuel gauge sending unit died and I am trying to replace. Anyone out there have experience? My tank is original 54 gallon on a 1984 E38. Thanks, Paul

Pics of E38 pole As promised:

Have an extra wheel since replacing with folding version. This is a really nice stainless wheel with an excellent rope wrap. Has a 1"hub with spacer washer. First $100 and U arrange pick-up.

I have a 16' from my E38 I am down in the Key Peninsula. I do not intend to run a spinnaker and just have to store it... Paul

Ground it off? I would have traded you! Ha! Beauty is in the eye of the beholder... I wanted to attach my cradle cover to it... it creeps forward when the main gets let way out. I will keep trying. Paul

Pics of my outhaul assembly You can see the tape over the back upper portion where a locking pin used to reside. That is what I really need - that piece. The sheaves all work fine. I am learning a lot from this thread... thanks, Paul

Thanks for the good info I will attempt to manhandle it and see for myself - I am encouraged that it is possible now. P-

M5432 Dipstick Well, I finally figured it out... the extension tube and longer dipstick was likely something placed by Ericson at the time of manufacture (1984) to help with accessibility. When I unbolted the bracket on the extension the whole thing was able to be popped out of the block. Now...

Thank you so much for your efforts to help. I will post again when I get this figured out. Appreciate you very much.
