Happened to me last night. Was out for the second time in my boat. Started the evening at 3/4 tank. Rode a little then was at half a tank. Picked up a couple friends ran one more quick set and it went down to 1/4 pretty fast. I had my rider jump in, empty the ballast and started to head for the landing which was probably about a mile ride or so. Half way back the gauge just drops the rest of the way to E and seconds later the boat dies. Ugh! They thought I was joking as moments earlier they saw it a 1/4 tank too. Learning experience I guess. Cold one too, water temp was about 52 degrees and really windy. Had to jump back in and swim the boat toward shore. Finally a guy in about a 16 foot fishing boat with 25HP motor towed us the 500 yards or so to the landing. Does anyone else have a gas gauge that drops so fast after 1/2 tank? Mine's an 2002 X-star.
