Fuel level sender

I'd like to add a fuel gauge to my boat.

My tank does not have a sender, but it does have an unused port, 1" NPT, with a blanking plug installed

It is perfect for a dipstick actually (probably the reason that no previous owner installed a gauge). Senders that I have found are either a standard SAE 5 hole mounting flange, or 1 1/2" NPT screw in.

Is there a sender that would screw directly into that 1" existing fitting?

1" MPT to 1/2" FPT is pretty common. You can even get it in stainless!

Oh, I thought the new sender was 1/2". The way the post displays on my phone the "1" is on the line above!
