Gauges not working
The gauges which read engine info (tachometer, hour meter, trim) are not working. The tachometer and trim gauges respond to the initialization when key is turned on but nothing after. I assume it's a signal issue and not a fuse since they do the initialization. They are Faria analog gauges connected to a Mercury Verado 150. Any ideas where to start troubleshooting?

Re: Gauges not working
If they're all analogue gauges, and this fault is common across all the gauges it may be a bad ground.
Not sure how they are connected to though. Did you get a wiring diagram with the boat or motor?

Re: Gauges not working
definitely crawl under the helm and wiggle some wires. Especially the ground wires coming from gauge cluster.
