Default Need Help Please!

Hey guys,
I just got a new boat (well, new to me). It's a 1995 Baja 240 Sport. It runs like a scalded dog and looks great too. My only problem is the gas gauge doesn't work. I looked at the gauge thinking maybe there was a loose wire or something obvious, so far nothing. It does not have Livorsi or Gaffrig gauges; they are I guess regular ol' white face suckers. I'm very competent with electrical circuits (I'm an electrician). just need some help here. Thanks in advanced!
Anthony

Sending unit....Ground out the sending unit wire-if the gauge pegs the gauge works...Remove the sending unit and repair/replace/inspect.

Probably just the wire connection at the tank. It will be under the inspection plate under or near the back seat.
