Newbie needs help. Trim indicator gauge

[cjschock]

I am looking at a 2005 G3 15.5 FS. The guy selling to boat told me that the last time he went out he noticed the trim indicator gauge was not working. I was wondering how serious of an issue this is and also if any one knows roughly what something like that would cost to be repaired.

Thank you
Chris

Repair it yourself. The gauge needs +12 volts when the key is in the RUN position. It also needs a good ground. The "S" (send) terminal on the gauge runs to the trim sender on the engine. Rarely is the gauge the problem. Loose or corroded connections or a bad sender are the main issues.
