My navigation lights are not working and when I turn them on the gas gauge goes off.
Seems like a short of some sort, but haven't had a chance to check yet. Has anyone had a similar problem? Thanks |

What year boat? I would check the bulb sockets first. It does sound like a direct short.

For thousands of years men have felt the irresistible urge to go to sea, and many of them died. Things got better after they invented boats.

A short would or at least should blow a fuse. Check the ground continuity from the engine back to the fuel gauge sender and the aft nav light as well as how both are wired.
