Default 2005 Contender 31
Here is a post of Bill Collector. Its a 2005 31 Contender with twin Mercury 275 Verados. It is still being rigged.

I would like to congratulate Aris on his new boat

That rigging looks great and on par with the best I've seen. Can't wait to hear some performance numbers.

Gersly, Do you know how to calibrate the smart gauges for the fuel?

Aris took the boat out before Contender finished everything because he wanted to break in the engines and get his electronics installed before next weekend. He is fishing the Mayor's Cup. Currently the gauges show the tanks empty.

I am going down to the boat tomorrow and would like to help him resolve this issue. I looked at the manual and could not find anything on the smart gauges.
