Fuel tank gauge - installed

San Diego 2012
 Our fuel gauge has been working fine now.
We looked all over for a spot to mount this gauge but came up empty. The nav station was not a good choice as we have other items needing mounting there and this is a gauge we do not need to look at that often. Just putting it into a plywood panel like behind the nav station would not work because  the back would have to be covered. The solution became installing it stand alone where it could be mounted and moved if need be. We mounted it in a teak box and placed it on top of the charger inverter. Debbie plans on gluing Velcro onto the charger\inverter and the bottom of the fuel gauge box. This way if need be we can just move it out of the way. This may also be a method to install a couple LED AMP meters for the solar panel and wind generator.
 It has a light and on\off switch as we do not need it on all the time.
Interesting picture at night.
