Tank sensors for SK to replace Bavaria sensors
Wema resistive water level sensors into Cerbo (via my relay switch). You need the US type to work with the original gauge. Fuel is original volvo/bavaria into the emu, n2k out.

Tank sensors for SK to replace Bavaria sensors
I should add that the Wema sensors were wired back to the relay circuit using new 2 core cable replacing the old ribbon cable which was damaged. The fuel sensor is connected into an Actisense EMU-1 which also monitors the engine and is connected to the NMEA2000 bus.

Tank sensors for SK to replace Bavaria sensors
I replaced the sensors on my Bavaria (Ocean 40, c.2000) with Wema float sensors which work well. I did have them feeding into a Venus GX last year, but unfortunately it got wet and so I'm about to install a new Cerbo.
In order to keep the Bavaria gauge on the switch panel working I built a small circuit with two double pole relays, so that when the gauge is activated, the sensor is connected to the gauge and disconnected briefly from the GX. Works well - circuit diagram attached - if I can work out how to attach a document!
