Ray - absolutely not. The float measurement is taken at the toe of the float, whereas the neopreme tip is close to the heel.
So the change is .093 2.675 from the fulcrum and the needle is only 0.275 from the fulcrum.
Without figuring the trig, I would estimate the deflection to be just less than 0.01 inch. Just doing a straight comparison 0.275 / 2.675 is 0.102; so multiplying 0.102 by 0.093 gives just a tad less than 0.01. Of course, since the distance would be an integral of a sine because the hinge is a fixed point, this estimate is going to be off a tad, but I am too lazy to do the absolute math. Its "close enough for government work" as Dad used to say; and I used to work for the government.
