I hooked up a new set of gauges to replace originals that were on their last legs Some worked when you tapped them some were just dead. On the new gauges (analog) all of the starboard gauges are reading low.....IE Low oil pressure (30), Low water temp (135), Low Voltage (12). Port engine gauges are reading correct values. I didnt pick up on the common theme (all starboard gauges) until I checked the temps with digital thermometer, voltage with a multimeter etc. Thats when the light bulb went off. Im stumped

Edit: Found this older thread here and gives me food for thought.

Edit #2 There is a rheostat dimmer. Not sure if that is a piece of the puzzle or not.
