Moeller 035773-10 Reed Switch Fuel Sending Unit, 5 Inch Length, 6 Inch Tank Depth, 33-240 Ohm, Stainless Steel

The Moeller 035773-10 is a reed switch fuel sending unit built for boats that need consistent, accurate fuel level readings at the helm. Unlike a swingarm sender, which reads fuel level from an arm that pivots through the tank, a reed switch sender takes its measurement directly from the float itself. Because the float has a much smaller range of motion than a swingarm, the reading is far less affected by fuel slosh as the boat moves, giving a steadier gauge display.

This sending unit is calibrated to the standard 33 to 240 ohm range used by 12 volt marine fuel gauges, so it works with typical gauge setups without special calibration. It is built from Type 316 stainless steel for corrosion resistance in a marine environment, and it is fire-rated for use with gasoline, ethanol, diesel, bio-diesel, and non-potable water, meeting the requirements of ISO 10088, ISO 8846, and ABYC H-24. The sender measures 5 inches in length and is designed for a 6 inch tank depth; Moeller sending units must be installed one inch shorter than the actual tank depth, which this unit is sized for. Mounting hardware is included.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Moeller 035773-10 fuel sending unit? It is a reed switch fuel sending unit that measures fuel level from a float inside the tank and sends that reading to a 12 volt fuel gauge as a resistance value between 33 and 240 ohms.

What tank depth does the Moeller 035773-10 fit? This sender is sized for a 6 inch tank depth. Moeller sending units are designed to sit one inch shorter than the actual tank depth, and this unit's 5 inch length matches a 6 inch deep tank.

How is a reed switch sender different from a swingarm sender? A reed switch sender, like the Moeller 035773-10, reads fuel level directly from the float, which has a much smaller range of motion than a swingarm. This means the gauge reading fluctuates less from fuel slosh compared to swingarm-style senders.

What is the resistance range of the Moeller 035773-10? It is calibrated to 33 to 240 ohms, the standard range used by 12 volt marine fuel gauges.

What material is the Moeller 035773-10 made from? The Moeller 035773-10 is constructed of Type 316 stainless steel for corrosion resistance in a marine environment.

Can this sending unit be used with diesel or ethanol-blended fuel? Yes. The 035773-10 is fire-rated and suitable for gasoline, ethanol, diesel, bio-diesel, and non-potable water.

Does the Moeller 035773-10 meet any marine safety standards? It meets the requirements of ISO 10088 and ISO 8846, as well as ABYC H-24.

What are the dimensions of the Moeller 035773-10? The unit measures 3.5 x 2.75 x 11.5 inches and weighs 0.65 pounds.

Does the Moeller 035773-10 come with mounting hardware? Yes, mounting hardware is included with the 035773-10 sending unit.

Can fuel slosh affect the reading from the Moeller 035773-10? All fuel level senders are subject to some fuel-slosh fluctuation, but because the 035773-10 is a reed switch design that reads from the float, its readings fluctuate less than a swingarm sender's.

Is the Moeller 035773-10 a 12 volt unit? Yes, the 035773-10 is a 12 volt fuel sending unit.
