Start at battery. Check connections. Look for extra wires added on by other people. If you have wing nuts on battery posts replace them with flanged nuts. Look for a main circuit breaker on engine(red button). Did it still run? Look for individual breakers at dash. Pull dash and check for loose connections. Boats usually run a single power wire to a gauge and then jumper from there to each one down the line. Give more info on your boat and maybe someone that has one can help.

simple route.....Take a test light, verify you have power to the 10 gauge red wire, if you do verify the ground is good. The power and ground are the only thing all the gauges have in common.
