2nd trip out this season and depth gauge reading 0 each time. Any tips? I’ve searched the forum and don’t see where there’s been any resolution to people having issues with depth gauge. TIA

I would make sure the wires are connected and no blown fuses. Then I would remove the top of the in-hull sending unit to make sure there is fluid in the "tub". These will not work if it is empty. Let us know if this helped.

Sorry, I do not. You would have to try and follow the wires back. I know, it sucks. How about the sending unit, did you check that?

Honestly, I wouldn't worry about it right now. Enjoy your time on the water. When you get back take some pictures of your engine compartment. it'll be easier that way.
