Thumbs down Switches stopped working...

Hey guys, could really use your help with this one...took the boat out and all of my switches ( bilge, blower, etc.) Were working fine. We stop for a bit and then when we decide to get going I use one of the switches and all of a sudden my fuel gauge flips to empty...it did the same thing for the bilge switch, blower and horn. I was thinking a loose ground maybe? Unfortunately we were running late and didn't have time to check it when we got back to the dock. Any advice would be much appreciated!

    Very likely a bad ground either at the fuse box or at the battery terminals where the small wires attach.
