Additional Information

Fuel Sender Resistance Range — Confirm Before Ordering:

Fuel level gauge compatibility depends on matching the gauge's input resistance range to the fuel sender's output resistance installed in the fuel tank. Two common sender resistance standards exist in marine applications:

• 240–33 ohm — the most common standard for American-built boats and Mercury/MerCruiser applications
• 0–90 ohm — common on Yamaha, European, and some other applications

Connecting a gauge to a sender with a mismatched resistance range will cause the gauge to read incorrectly — typically pegged full or empty regardless of actual tank level. Confirm the sender resistance range specified for the 61549P in Seastar's gauge specification sheet before ordering, and verify the resistance output of your existing tank sender before purchasing. Contact us at MacombMarineParts.com if you need help confirming compatibility.

Single Tank Display:

The 61549P displays fuel level for a single fuel tank. For twin-tank installations, a separate gauge is required for each tank, or a fuel management switch can be used to select between tanks for a single gauge. Contact us at MacombMarineParts.com for multi-tank gauge options in the Driftwood Series.

Driftwood Series — Formerly Teleflex:

The Seastar Solutions Driftwood Series gauges were formerly sold under the Teleflex brand. The 61549P is the current Sierra/Seastar part number for this gauge. If you are replacing a Teleflex Driftwood Series fuel gauge, the Sierra 61549P is the direct current-production equivalent.

Dual Lighting — Blue Through-Dial and White Perimeter:

The 61549P features two lighting zones: blue illumination through the dial face and white perimeter lighting around the gauge rim. The combination provides high-contrast readability at night across a range of helm lighting conditions. Refer to the Seastar Driftwood Series installation instructions for lighting wiring connection details.

2-Inch Gauge Diameter — Panel Cutout:

The 61549P uses a standard 2-inch gauge diameter. Verify the available panel cutout size at your helm before ordering. The near-flush black bezel provides a clean installation appearance. Optional add-on eyebrow or square bezels are available separately for different panel styles.

Installation Notes:

• Confirm fuel sender resistance range matches gauge specification before ordering
• Verify 2 in. panel cutout availability at helm before ordering
• Single tank only — one gauge required per tank for multi-tank installations
• Refer to Seastar Driftwood Series installation instructions for wiring and lighting connection
• Optional add-on bezels available separately — contact us for options

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What fuel sender resistance range does this gauge require?
Confirm the sender resistance specification for the 61549P in Seastar's gauge specification sheet before ordering. The two most common marine standards are 240–33 ohm and 0–90 ohm — connecting the wrong gauge to your sender will cause incorrect readings. Contact us at MacombMarineParts.com for confirmation.

2. Does this gauge work with twin fuel tanks?
The 61549P displays a single tank only. For twin-tank installations, use a separate gauge per tank or a fuel management switch to share one gauge between two tanks.

3. Is this the same gauge as the old Teleflex Driftwood Series fuel gauge?
Yes — the Seastar Solutions Driftwood Series is the direct successor to the Teleflex Driftwood Series. The Sierra 61549P is the current part number for this gauge.

4. What does the blue through-dial lighting look like vs. the white perimeter?
Blue through-dial lighting illuminates the dial face itself in blue; white perimeter lighting illuminates the gauge rim edge in white. Together they provide a dual-tone illuminated appearance at night with strong contrast for reading the fuel level pointer.

5. What panel cutout size does this gauge require?
2-inch diameter. Verify availability at your helm panel before ordering.
