please help.
at the end of last season, all of a sudden while cruising down the lake, all my gauges lost power and dropped to 0, including trim gauge. plus the trim control no longer works. i checked the black lead wire that goes to the battery ground and its good. sometimes when i turn the ignition switch on the ligths come on the gauge cluster, and the gas and trim gauges work (without starting it). but only until i attempt to adjust the trim and everything quits working. then if i turn the key off and back on, the gas and trim will not work again.

just checked it again after the winter storage, and guess what, it didn't fix itself. seems like an electrical issue, but thought it may have been from wet or moist wires, not the case.

any ideas.....i hope!

thanks.
