Thanks guys, for all the good advice.

I did have a mechanic look at it and he found a wire loose. I took it out this past weekend and it worked for a little while and then conked out. I'll check and tighten the wires one more time.If that doesn't fix the problem, then I'll be forced to purchase a mechanical gauge from e-components and a clear deck plate from twin cities marine.

I'll also check the gauge West Marine carries.

Thanks again,
