One terminal of the sender connects to the plate that mounts to the tank--this is grounded because the tank is grounded. So, polarity is involved here. I can remove the tank ground and switch the wires. Bob Boyer S/V Rainy Days / Annapolis MD 1983 C&C Landfall 38 - Hull #230 email: dainyr...@i

Chuck, Your "grounding" could be worse. Couple weeks ago I went in for a heart stress test after feeling a "twinge" under my left armpit. Stress test turned into a trip to the catheterization lab followed by a double bypass later that night. I'm a bonafide member of the "zipper" club now. Com
