Have a Motorguide Pro Series 7x lb 24v TM that today has suddenly decided to only work on Hi-Bypass mode.

Can you share a pic of the end product?
This is VERY helpful.
I can test the sender unit all the way to the harness end.
Thanks!
Decided to test the gauge using this method:
The Trim Gauge can be tested by: Power the gauge by connecting a positive 12 VDC wire to the "I" terminal and a ground wire to the "G" terminal. Have...
Thanks, Championman.
I don't have an old style swing meter in my "arsenal" but I may be able to source someone that can help me locally to do that.

I recently replaced the bulbs on all gauges, no problems.
Shortly following, the Tilt/Trim gauge stopped working.
Its certainly worn and the needle...

Just shoot me a PM with an address and I will get it sent off to you along with the remaining good hinge.

I understand wrestling with the decision to go with Deans. I talked to a few local upholstery guys and they were going to run me $500-$600 but the seats that were being started with were very shot...
I'd really like to see a picture of this stuff installed on someones boat if someone could be so kind.
Yep, tested with the overtemp wire and horn works fine!
Thanks again.
Ah, there's a connector under that rubber gasket....
Alarm horn works!
Looked over the motor and the only "tan" wire I can see that would appear to would make sense is the one in the middle below. There is an exact duplicate of this on the other side.

Just the advice and feedback I was looking for, will follow suit. Thank you.
Glad to be part of the Champ family, always someone willing to help a fellow out.
First time boat owner after restoring an '87 176 Super Champ...still learning the ins and outs from the experts around here.

I have an onboard...

I looked at Oreilly's with the bulb in hand, I can certainly find one that will fit in the twist lock socket but my only hesitation was the wattage listed on the package for the bulbs that would seem...
