No cluster controls working nor does the radio. Any suggestion?

Need a little more info....
  • Was it working before?
  • Dual battery set up?
  • Is this first time out of the season?

My guess is you missed connecting a wire to the battery (the house + connection)?
Otherwise there is a fuse on the house line not far from the battery....trace it back. It is usually a small black plastic fuse box.
Next up would be missing negative common wire.
Lastly....I assume the battery is charged?

Check the house fuse. It should be in the battery compartment on the wall next to the switches. I believe it's 20A.

I know on the newer boats the cluster gets it 12v from the same connection as the stereo. There should either be a common fuse somewhere or look behind the console for a loose/broken wire.

I am really confused don't think it's something major but I am just stumped. It a newer boat in perfect condition. I was thinking the same thing about a missing ground wire. That doesn't seem to be the case. Just pulled it out and got her all cleaned up. Hooked up batteries but nothing on the cluster works and no radio. Looked in the back of the cluster nothing looks bad. I would think there is a main fuse boxes and can't seem to find it. Did some research on line but not much help. Usually when something acts like this is a ground issue. Any help is appreciated. Thanks
