Going to be taking my boat in for winterizing soon. Would like to have this corrected at the same time if there is a fix found. What is the progress? Thanks!

What is the update?
Any update on this? It has been over a year now since the original post.
Now that it's been 5 years...any news on this issue?
I hired a miget to climb down in the tank........then he sticks up 4 fingers for full, 3 for three quarters, two for half, one for a quarter, and ten for 'break out yer paddle'
.
My gauge always says full so I don't ever put any gas in.
I have an 03 Outback LS, the gauge works okay until about half a tank. From there it goes from half to below E and so on. Very annoying.
I have an '07 Outback, great boat, but if we are out for a weekend or even a very long day with a lot of pulling skiers/boarders, this fuel capacity concern can be a drag. Is the gauge thing ever going to get a direct response? Alternatively, is there a kit for adding fuel capacity beyond the 28 gallons in the Outback? Sure, you can bring a jerry can, etc, but has anyone come up with any more convenient/permanent solution? Thanks...
The main reason the gauge bounces all around is there is no baffles in the tank like on your car. This is strictly a large plastic container to hold fuel. As the fuel lowers the gauge will bounces as fuel sloshes around.
You could add more tanks to the boat but just like ballast it requires a space to put the tanks in, you can then plumb it to the main tank, or add an electric pump. In any case any pump system you choose to do would still need to pump fuel to the main tank as this is where the pump to the engine is located.
