Alternator not working on last weekend trip to Norris lake. Came home and found power wire to alternator was broke off post. When I moved the wire over it made contact with the dip stick or motor for a milli second and of course sparked. I now have no power anywhere on the boat except trim. I checked the 50 amp reset(red button) and power is good. I checked the 90 amp connected to starter and it seems good. Acts almost like the kill switch is off. Any advice what to check next. Thanks

You checked it but most likely its the 90 amp fuse. Disconnect the battery and use a ohm meter across the fuse.
