Boat Starts

[Cabbi]

Hi folks!
Just taking boat out of storage, both engines fired right up however nothing else works like the blower, lights, bilge can someone point me in the right direction please.
THANKS IN ADVANCE!

I would start with double checking all battery connections. Some times we miss one.

 

[Cabbi]

Thanks. My Raymarine plotter works as does the Yamaha depth finder.

Two batteries or one?

1 battery

Two batteries or one?

Somebody took the old battery out and none of the wires are marked would it be possible to have them on the wrong terminals

 

[Dave burke]

did you just reconnect the batteries when you took it out of storage? I would double check the connections as @buckbuck suggests.

if the connections are good, I’d start checking fuses. It’s a bit hard to tell but it looks like you have 2 or 3 right at the battery.

Is there fuses by the battery?

How can you tell if a fuse is blown. This is a pic of the battery

it looks to me like there are fuses in some of the wires coming from the positive terminal. Hard to tell for sure but see if you can open the black holders. Or send more pics so we can see better.

if somebody disconnected the battery on you, I’d start by disconnecting the aftermarket stuff and see what’s left. Hopefully somebody with the same boat as you can send you a pic of what the stock connections look like. I could send you a pic of mine but it’s 10yrs newer and a twin battery set up so I doubt it would help.

i assume the Raymarine is aftermarket. Is the Yamaha depth finder stock?

Ok thanks the Yamaha depth finder is stock on the dash. My boat is a 2007 sx210

you can pull all the fuses and look at them. There should be a continuous filament between the two prongs if its good. If it’s blown, the filament will be broken.

But if all your stock stuff is not working, it’s likely a main fuse somewhere or the battery was wired wrong. I think what I circled in yellow are fuses, for sure the one on the left is.

 

[Dave burke]

One other idea. My owners manual shows the proper wiring set up. Do you see anything in yours?

So it would not be the fuses in the engine bay correct

i will have to find it online

Just the one on the left is a fuse and it looks good

The one on the left is hooked to positive it starts out red wire then goes black wire

 

[Dave burke]

There could be fuses in the engine bay but based on everything you’ve said, I’d put it’s wired wrong. That’s why I’d disconnect everything that doesn't look stock to try and narrow it down. Seems to me that you have a lot of wires there

 

[Dave burke]

The one on the left is hooked to positive it starts out red wire then goes black wire

id bet this is aftermarket. Do you know what it’s for?

also, do you have a voltmeter? Maybe check if you have power on both sides of your various fuses? If p one side, it’s a fuses. If power on neither side, it’s not the fuse.

Is there a wire from your battery to the fuse block?

 

[Dave burke]

I only half know what I’m doing, hopefully some of the really knowledgeable electrical types will chime in...

Found this.
