Trim/tilt is not showing on my CL guages..The bars on the guages are stuck on one level..

Checked the plastic arms with the springs and they are not free (not springing back when pushed), but if I change the arm to another position, the guage is still not moving?

Where can I start to look for a fix? Starting in the cheapest area..;)

They are twin F250's 2007 branded on a 2008 boat..

Sounds like your trim sensors went kaput. Do you know how to check them with a OHM meter?

No, not sure..
Trim sensors? Or senders?

So, changed the sender units on the engines.. Everything good, except for one side is now blinking at full tilt up and down?? Reset trim on gauges.. Still blinking.. Any clue?

Flop the gauges around. See if the problem goes with the CL tachs.
