On my 32, I installed a water flow meter at the pump which connected by small wire to a digital display. When you filled the water tanks you reset the display to show the max gallons. As you use water the display counted down the gallons so you always knew what was left in the tank. It worked better than the systems with tank sensors and was very easy to install. I don’t remember the brand (don’t own the tug anymore). But I found a similar unit on Amazon. https://a.co/d/4my73b2 It looks like they also have a Bluetooth version which will give you the data on your smartphone.

I am the current owner of Snorri, NT 32225. The water flow meter Herb installed is a Watercounter unit. I don’t know if they are still being made but it works very well.

Hello All I added this to NT37-079 which we have since sold https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09PFN9MFR/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1. I had intended to extend the display to inside the stern hanging locker, but never did so it was simply stuck to the side of the water heater. It worked very well, when I installed it I was reluctant to trust such a cheap and simple solution so I bought https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0BL37TN96/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 which allowed me to check on the accuracy when I filled. The systems was spot on at +/- 3 gallons which I suspect had more to do with the level of fill. On NT42-074 we have a proper sight tube easily accessible from the lazarette. As such, I do not anticipate going this route again, but it was very effective, cheap and easy.
