First off, do you have an accessery only battery or does the boat only have
1 battery? On ours, we have an ignition only/power only battery and another
battery for the guages, radio, horn, lights, etc. Are the power wires hooked
up for the guages? Are the ground wires hooked up for the guages? Try
putting a volt meter on the backside of the guages or test some the the
wires go to/from the guages to see if power is getting to them. Do your
power wires have an inline fuse that could have blown? We used to have alot
of gauge problems also unitl we completely rewired the boat, the correct
way. Our boat used to be A DNR Fish & Wildlife Patrol Boat for Indiana Dunes
National Lakeshore, they wired it up pretty bad. Good Luck!
