[C320-list] holding tank gauges

[Gary Magnuson]

Dear Nat,
  I installed this unit, which operates on a single bus that monitors 
both of my water tanks and the holding tank in 2008.  It has worked 
flawlessly, and tells me the percent of fill on each tank at the press 
of the button.  Although made for the RV folks, I found it works great 
for us boaters.

I bought the Model 709 SeeLeveL  ll  for $207.86 total with shipping in 
2008 so it looks like the pricing is holding.

  The data monitoring strips come with a peel off adhesive back that 
easily slips down beside each tank and has remained attached with no 
problems.  There is a jumper that needs to be clipped so that the 
control head knows which tank is being monitored.   The instructions 
were easy to follow.    I would definitely buy this product again.    I 
ran the cable over to the panel to the right of the Power panel and 
installed it with the rest of my toys.

Good luck with your choice,
Gary Magnuson
