1988 Silverton manually check the fuel

On the 88 37 MotorYacht it is 1 big tank centerline, forward of the engines. Cant speak to the convertible.
 
Why keep guessing when the OP won't come back to clear things up.
 
$200 worth of fuel may only be 50 or 60 gallons. You can run thru that pretty quickly.

Just fix the damn thing... :)

I'll wholeheartedly agree with my friend Pascal here. Gasoline tanks should NOT be sounded. That's a diesel thing, NOT a gasoline thing. Fix the sender, install a flowmeter, calibrate the flowmeter, then rely on it. Always far more accurate than a float level type sender. Do NOT get in the habit of manually sounding a gasoline tank! Boating disasters is my profession - please trust me that it is a horrendously bad idea.
