Re: Gauges??!
My speedometer and my fuel Gauges don't work?? Any suggestions
As Levinz11 said, check the Pitot for an obstruction, this can be cleared with a piece of thin wire or a needle, then move on to the rubber tubing, look for kinks or cracks, if none are found you can remove it from the rear gauge and blow air toward the pitot to clear obstructions. Don't blow air from the pitot side, toward the gauge or you may damage the gauge.
You can get a complete replacement pitot with tube for $13 from Ebay, real easy install.
For the fuel gauge, I'm assuming your tank is below the deck right? If so remove the access panel and check the sending unit contacts. They may be corroded or completely broken. If these are ok, you need to check your sending unit.
A real easy and effective way to test the function of the gauge/ sending unit is to touch together the pink (signal wire) to the black (ground wire) on the sending unit located on the tank, if the gauge moves it is an issue with the sending unit.
Sometimes the floats become logged and wont float anymore, and sometimes they just corrode through, which was the case with mine. Either way a replacement is cheap, I think I paid $27 for a universal from Autozone. you just need to know the depth, on my 26 gallon tank mine was a 7" arm.
Good luck, let me know how it turns out.
