trim gauge not working- 2005 Mercury 90ELPTO

Last spring I hit a stump. I had everything repaired, except the trim gauge, which was pegged completely to the right. I replaced the gauge, but it still didn't work, so I tested the gauge, and it tested OK. I then returned the new gauge, and purchased a new sending unit. After installing the sending unit, I lowered the motor to its lowest point, and turned the key to ON, but the trim gauge still didn't move. Is there anything else I can try? The motor is a 2005 Mercury 90ELPTO, and my boat is a 2004 Fisher Pro Hawk.
 
try pulling the sending unit and twist the actuator to see if the gauge moves with the actuator movement. if it does, then the actuator likely wasn't engaged when the sender was installed.

if the gauge doesn't respond to moving the actuator, there is likely something wrong with the interconnecting wires. you will have to trace them to find the issue.
