Lonerifle 0 Report post Posted April 23, 2018 I own a 2005 322 Cruiser. Recently several of my gauges have started to act erratic. When the throttle is advanced one of the engines will show about a 1000 RMPs less and fluctuate. however it is clear that the engines are running even. If you tap the dashboard they will sync. Similarity fuel gauges indicate intermittently, the trim tab indicators only work intermittently also. Has anyone else seen a similar issue. I am wondering if there is a common ground for these indicators that may be loose under the panel. Any ideas? Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rip5 0 Report post Posted April 26, 2018 Tapping gauges is nothing new. I have done it for 20 years off and on with 5 different boats. Likely nothing wrong with your ground, tap away, and go boating! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BrianNJ 0 Report post Posted May 13, 2018 I generally agree. Since boats spend time sitting and in humid conditions, I suspect the mechanics of the gauges get a little sticky. I have had to tap my fuel gauge and occasionally my tach for years. If it gets too bad, replacements are available. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
