The one on the bottom in the middle looks identical. That's very nice of you!

That's the exact same one as on my boat too.

I believe mine originally had dual stations however someone removed the lower one.

It probably is - I think that is one of the originals from my 86 Carver 3227. PM with your address and I will get it out to you.

On my 88 3227, the fuel needle disappears below and only comes to life when I put the momentary switch to left or right. At center, the needle does go below and disappears like there is no needle.
