Twin 350's in a 30' cruiser and one of the voltmeters does not move at all when I start its engine. Both battery banks seem fine as I can use either to start up and seems to have no strain. Before I start trying to fix things I know nothing about thought someone might have some guidance if it is most likely just the gauge, wiring or if I am so stupid I need to take up golf as my primary hobby!

switch the wires from one gauge to the other. If the dead read out moves to the other, then the problem is in the wiring. If the problem stays with the same gauge then, the gauge is the problem.

Geez, that is embarrassingly simple logic. Can't say enough about experience. Thanks for sharing!
