Need help with my boat please.

[okiecrappieman]

I have a '97 Triton Tr-18 with a Johnson 150 faststrike and the problem I'm having is that my gas gauge and and my trim gage have both stopped working. All my fuses are good and i just replaced the fuel gauge with no luck. i do have power to them, but i really don't know now. i hope you folks may have some suggestions.

Sounds like an electrical problem maybe?

90% of boat electrical problems are faulty grounds. Fuel gauges will show full if you ground out the neg. wire if it works that not the problem. Sounds like under the console wire came loose. Hope this helps.
