OK, so you guys know I'm a new boat guy. I have a small problem getting bigger and need some advise.
Boat is a 2003 Sea Hunt CC. 90 HP Yamaha 4 stroke.
Problem started with the gas gauge not reading correctly. Problem started getting worse yesterday as now the Tach, trim gauge, gas and speed gauges don't read right and I can't send on my radio (although I hear others fine.)
I have almost begged the marina head mechanic to take a look. Always says he will but hasn't in 3 weeks of begging. (since the gas gauge went south)

1) Where do I start looking? Someone (another expert) told me it sounds like a ground problem.

2) Any boat mechanics on this board in Warwick who can fix this problem. Boat is at Harbor Light marina and don't want to pull it if I don't have to. PM me and we can work out details.
