Tilt/Trim and Gas Gauge- Not working- ZX190............Fuse? Gauge? HELP

[MWeb]

1) I took the boat out for the first time this year and the Tilt/Trim gauge is stuck at the level of full tilt/trim and when I trim it all the way down it goes like a Milimeter under the full tilt level......

Also it was making a little squeaking/creaking noise when bringing it up or down....lube needed??


Would this be due to a fuse??


2) Also I put 6 gallons of gas in each tank today (12 gallons out of 36 capacity) on the ZX190 and it was only showing under a quarter of a tank on each side (was pulling dual fuel, not just one tank) plus it took a while when I flipped the switch to read the gas tanks, it did a VERY slow climb to a certain level.

Any help or opinions would be appreciated........

Yea by the time you posted this I was already outside and checking that part and is surely broken, thanks.

Gonna try to locate the dealer tomorrow locally to get one.

For the creaking and craking noise when trimming down put some marine grease on the tips of the cylinder rods....that will keep it from making the noise....pretty common when those trim tabs (on motor) and rods are dry rubbing against each other. Not sure about the gas situation cause i've learned not to trust my gas gauge cause it's never been accurate.
