Hi there, Since the gauges do not always work after stalling, that would lead me to believe you may have a loose wire connection someplace.

So I would start with carefully wiggling wires around both at the engine and under the helm while the engine is running at home on the trailer to see if you can replicate the problem.

You say your oil pressure gauge spiked, Did it spike long enough for the engine to die? And what did it spike to?

It maxed out on oil pressure speed never works rpm some times works dealership said would need whole cluster can not just fix one and yes engine stalled out when spiked out but does not spike everytime it dies
