Last weekend my family spend the night on the hook and everything worked fine. In the morning we went to leave and the boat started/ran fine but none of the gauges worked. I checked the fuse panels and didn't see any that were tripped and even pushed everyone just to check. I turned the battery switches off for 5 min then back on and no change. We ran the boat back to our marina and everything worked fine, but the gauges never came back. Any thoughts?
Thanks for the help!
 
Somewhere, possibly in the engine bay, do you have this breaker.... It'll be black, about 2" square, and a little arm will be sticking out (shows it's been tripped). Push the arm back in. Usually, these are located not too far from the battery - sometimes by themselves, sometimes on a mounting board (which is typically white "starboard-type" material).
 
thanks for the quick response. I had one of those breakers for the windlass, just ahead of the batteries, which was tripped when I first got the boat. So I know what you are talking about. I'll have to take a look for another one controlling the dash gauges.
 
Had the problem with my 280.. open the panel at the oot of your helm and stick you head in there.. there is a black wire bundle that connects to your dash make sure it is seated correctly...mind had managed to work itself loose
