Those are new tachs in the boat. I have the old ones. Replaced due to "bouncing" issue. My Sonic's starboard tach does/did? the same thing. Hopefully with new gauges it went away.
Check all grounds starting with battery, especially under dash. Then as most agree replace plug wires.

I vote ground. Bad plug wires shouldn't effect the fuel gages.

Then kick it.

I have this problem with my starboard tack and volt meter.
Everything runs OK. It only does it sometimes.
