Need help on 1997 Wellcraft 26se

Postby Ruben26se » Thu Aug 08, 2024 8:02 pm

I seem to have lost power to all my gauges , navigation lights, bilge pumps and front light . Checked all fuses under dash , engine will turn over, also checked engine breakers. Is there any other fuses or circuit breakers that it could be ? Any ideas or thought would really be appreciated

Usually, for these circuits, there's a dedicated power wire coming from the engine compartment, typically it'd be on the battery switch COMMON terminal, that powers the house circuits Sometimes there's a fuse in the engine compartment, sometimes there's a fuse in, or under the dashboard. Seein's how you've noted basically ALL of the critical running systems that would be on it... it seems most likely that this circuit (either it's source, or it's return (ground) has been broken, disconnected, or fuse-protected.

If your boat has MerCruiser propulsion, the 'house' power may be coming through a plastic 'block' type fuse on the slave solenoid, or on the power trim pump.
