I pulled the freshwater tank to address a few leaks around the defunct level float and decided to make the original gauge work again.
I used four inexpensive float switches and four resistors to cause the gauge to read (approximately) E, 1/4, 1/2, 3/4, and F.
The system works great! And, "welding" the cracks with a large soldering gun, and HF heat gun, a high-temp glue gun, strips cut from a milk jug, and high-temp glue sticks (eventually) produced a leak free tank!
One more check mark off the list!
