Is it spring yet?

I replaced the trim sender before splashing and no response from the gauge. Hoping I didn't get a bad sender, but before I get angry over that possibility, is there a fuse somewhere? Wiring diagram doesn't show the engine harness so all I can find to go by is the purple/white wire at the gauge.

Thank you.

The sensor is the most likely source of trouble. Did you go through the adjustment process when you installed the trim sensor? If not, it is possible that the sensor is just way out of adjustment rather than faulty.

I fiddled with it a ton before launch and ultimately didn't have time to get it working/registering on the gauge at all.

Any way to determine if the gauge is faulty?

Try Googling "troubleshooting Faria trim gauges". Just a thought.

The sender needed to be adjusted to 11 +/- 1 ohms with the drive down if I remember correctly.

I just put new sender on mine in the spring. I found a bad connection at the main engine cannon plug not allowing signal to dash gauge , maybe look there. If I remember the wire from sender was brown then after the plug it was the purple white.
