I just called the Catalina factory and they informed me they are now installing the SnakeRiver Ultra-8 system on new boats as standard equipment since 2005. They use a combination of rod and tape sensors depending on the tank layout.

I leave it to each of you individually to determine the best system. I considered features and cost. TheLegacy system I purchased has a tank profiling capability and does not use any float sensors.The programming and tank naming capability was descriptive and it enabled the monitoring of eight tanks including fuel and propane with the right sensors. It also was compatible with other companies sensors if you were retrofitting from an older system.

I chose to monitor my water tanks...

Hello Charlie, I am interested in specific details on this also (with pictures please). I'm looking at installing the http://www.snake-river.org/ Acugage Ultra-8 system as its looks almost identical but nearly half the price with all the sensors. Did you look at this system? Why did you choose the Legacy unit?

I'm sure both work well, my issue is with the sensors, especially the forward holding tank as its wrapped in...

I am sure this is not really a 'new topic', however, I just installed a tank monitoring system on my 3 cabin pullman and wanted to share with everyone the info about the system because it went well and ws reasonably priced. I did quite a bit of research on tank monitoring systems and ended up choosing one from an outfit called Ferriello sales (www.ferriellosales.com). They were reasonably priced, appeared to be state of the...
