Ah, a dead gauge on a deck that never moves, eh? The tide’s still out there, but that little gizmo’s stuck in a stubborn stillness like a ship caught in a calm. First check the power—if it’s no battery or a bad cable, the gauge won’t do a thing. Then look at the probe: if it’s bent or clogged with seaweed, it’ll read zero forever. If the electronics are fine, maybe the sensor’s been misaligned with the tide line—tighten it, recalibrate, and set it up right under the water’s edge. If that still won’t budge, swap the sensor for a fresh one, or, if the crew’s willing, just throw the whole kit in the ocean and start fresh. And remember, the tide’s a fickle beast; even the finest gear can’t fool it if you ignore the currents. Good luck, mate.

Sounds like a plan, lad. Just remember to keep the probe clean, and if it still reads nothing, you might need to check the ground line. And hey, don’t let the noodles turn into a tide of crumbs—keep that crew fed, or the next storm will find a hungry crew and a broken gauge. Good luck, and enjoy your noodles.
