ABSTRACT:
A fluid level indicator for a small watercraft is provided which can be used to effectively detect and indicate a fluid level in a small watercraft even when the watercraft is experiencing severe rocking or up and down movements during operation and which is able to detect and distinguish the fluid level at a number of different positions. The fluid level indicator comprises a fluid level detector which includes a guide member, preferably cylindrical, generally vertically disposed in a fluid tank. A plurality of floats each having a magnet are slidably received for movement along the guide member within a designated section. In the illustrated embodiments, reed type switches one or more of which are associated with each of the floats are positioned within the guide member for detecting the position of the corresponding float along the guide. An indicator plate, preferably of the LDC type, is operatively connected to the fluid level detector for indicating the detected fluid level in the tank.
