battery is good, yet no power anywhere

[jlgab345]

Yesterday we had to replace our bow light, it worked immediately after testing, however the spliced wires were exposed and not covered with electrical tape.

We ran the boat all afternoon and when it got dark went to turn the lights on. the bow light didn't work, so we started messing with it. After that engind wouldn't turn over. Tested all the fuses this morning and can't find a blown fuse. Ignition switch would at least beep until I pulled the ignition fuse out and put it back in (still good). No beep, nothing happens. Changed the fuse, still nothing.

What are my possible issues and what info do you need on the boat?

It's a 2002 Glastron GX225.

okay, more info -

we touched a screwdriver to the two large starter solenoid posts and now we get the beeping that normally occurs when we start the boat and all the gauges come to life.

Aside from doing that all of the switches come on, accessories, etc...except the radio when we do nothing at all.

Thanks!

You popped the circuit breaker in the engine bay. The other stuff works because it is part of the boat harness -- not the engine harness.
