Newbie! Needs help with 1991 Reinell 191 OMC Cobra

[Reinell-BRXL-191]

Hello guys....

I recently picked up a 1991 Reinell 191 that was in medium shape... after several weeks of replacing ever piece of plywood in the boat ( seats, pads, boxes etc) I am now down to a few things that I need to fix mechanically. And guess what? They are all gauges... The following gauges do not work... Trim, Oil pressure, Fuel Level

The boat has a 5.0 OMC Cobra I/O - anyone know the location of all the senders for this engine? Are there any tricks or tips as to how to check these gauges and senders to determine what the problem is, and last but not least, where to pick up the parts?

The oil gauge does not move at all
The trim gauge is pegged all the way past up, but goes down to up when switched off
The fuel level gauge, shows empty, but does move around when hitting breakers while running

Ok, so I found the Trim sender... the wires are all broken and corroded, so it's trash... now to find a replacement
part number is 984731 12 JP - anyone can help?

Really need the oil sender location... I have looked all over the block, and cannot ID it...

Here's where to find the trim sender: http://www.iboats.com/OMC-Sterndriv...2366406--session_id.033351702--view_id.507815

The oil pressure sending unit should be right in front of the oil filter assuming it's a Ford block.
