I have a 1998 Mastercraft Prostar 205. Everything was working great when I had it winterized back in November. I went out this last weekend went out to start it up and none of the guages work. It will start and all the accessory switches work (lights, depth finder, blower, stereo, ect...) Any idea's on what could cause this? Or what I could do to fix it or troubleshoot it?

Thanks.

Did you check your circuit breakers? Because all of they gauges are not working it is most likely a power issue, with a bad ground second inline.

Do you know where the circuit breakers are located? I couldnt find any fuses or circuit breakers that went to the gauges. I found the fuses for the accessory switches because under each switch is a fuse, but I couldnt find any for the gauges. Thanks for the help.

This is a common problem with Mastercrafts in this era (1997-2002). The gauges are prone to failure, they will also begin to work intermittently, I had this problem (and still do) and it has been a total pain in the arse. Under warranty, I had the guage cluster replaced and I am still having problems today. Some days my fuel gauge will work and my voltmeter won't and vice versa. Since my boat is no longer under warranty and I had the cluster replaced twice, I have given up hope. When I went through this with Mastercraft, they were not 100% on what the problem was. If you find out anything, I hope you will post it.

Someone mentioned to me it might be the MDC Box? Have you ever heard of that? I dont even know where the MDC box is or what it does.

Every thing worked. You let it sit for several months. Now it doesn't work.
My guess is corrosion where a ground wire is bolted or screwed.
