Please Help! I have no power to anything just charged my battery and need to raise my motor. I looked at the fuses in the fuse box below drivers seat all those are good. Is there a main fuse to everything that I'm missing?

The trim/tilt would be a motor function. Might check the motor and see if there is a fuse or circuit breaker on it. What motor do you have?

If it's an outboard you need to look under the cowl. There are at least one fuse associated with engine circuits.

On a 15 year old boat, it's impossible to say what has been changed electrically. Especially around the battery area.
Look around the battery and see if there are any fuses. May be a missed wire not hooked up on the battery either positive or negative.

You need to go back to the engine. Take the cover off. Now search for a 20 amp fuse. That fuse controls everything engine related including the gauges.
You then need to go back to the battery and look for a fuse or circuit breaker on a smaller pair of wires that feeds the helm and all the accessories EXCEPT the gauges. You also need to make sure the BOTH ends on BOTH battery cables are clean and tight. That doesn't mean looking at them. It means removal, making them shiny clean and bright, and then reattaching them securely. Can't make it any simpler than that. The fact that NOTHING works tells me if you do as directed will fix the problem.

if you removed the battery to charge it then check around like don says for a spare wire. if you have not removed the battery then follow sivertips instructions. if neither work then buy a cheap volt meter and follow the sticky on how to posted at the top of elec forum
