My champion's panel gauges dont work could this be a grounding issue? The only gauge that works is the fuel guage. My water preasure gauge doesnt work either.I dont know yet about the thermosat opening for the water flow I guess this would explain the preasure guage any help would be great.I dont even know what model it is. 17 1/2 foot single consel 150hp mariner.1984 or 85 I'll try to sub mit photos

Water Pressure is not controlled electronically. The tube maybe filled with sand. Disconnect it at the gauge and the top of the head and blow it out.

That would only leave the voltmeter, trim, and tach that would need power. Check with a multimeter to see if they are getting power. With the age of the boat it is likely bad gauges.

What does the title say for model? If you post the hull indentification number, I can probably tell you the month and year it was built, and also the model year. And can you post pictures? This might help in determining just which 17 footer it is.
