Sticky TAPS indicator

[NHarp1]

Anyone notice when you run up/down the TAPS gague the needle sticks a bit over 7/8 going up and down. I asked my dealer and he gave me the impression it is not the instrument gague but in the stern where the hydrolic cylindar is located. There is a wire/coil that is sensitive and recommends leaving it alone. Maybe it needs to "break-in" or just simply "break". Any suggestions I can give to my dealer? It acts like it his hanging up on something.

I know nothing of this, but I'd put someone pushing the switch and I'd put
my finger on the plate and see if I could feel it catch as it was moving.

You ever notice that on some cars, when you fill the tank really full, the needle will stay on "F" for a while, or when you push the limits of an empty tank and it stays on "E" a lot longer then expected before running out???

My thoughts are, that the plate moves a little more them what gauge is capable of registering, so when you are at one extreme or the other, the plate needs to travel a little (1/4" to 1/2") before needle moves.

I watched the plate and it moves smoothly up and down with no hesitation regardless of the needle gague. I figure the wire controlling the gague is sticking on something if all other TAPS do not have a problem. Hate to have a new boat and see something this ovious every time you use it. I guess I have 3 years for it to get better or break for it to under warrentee.
