If you have a Mercruiser, they have all the information in their service manuals.

So far you haven't even said if it's a Mercruiser or not. BUT, if it is, here is where you can get a manual. You want #1<br /><br /> Merc Manuals

If this is all on the same boat, I would venture to guess that the gauges are not getting power (either no positive or missing ground). Besides the signal wire from the individual senders, all of these gauges need power from the key switch.
