Check for a circuit breaker at the battery. Reset it if it's a manual type. If its an automatic type, check for 12 volts on the LOAD side of it. No juice at that point the breaker is bad/open. If power is there, verify at the other end of the circuit which should be the +12 volt feed to the fuse panel.

Re: skeeter boat electrical problem

How many wires are attached to the starting battery?? Normally there are the two large cables that go directly to the engine. In addition, there normally two (one red/one black) wires (#10 gauge) that feeds the fuse/circuit breaker panel. A circuit breaker (or a fuse) is generally installed between the positive post of the battery and the red wire. There are no other wires besides the two large battery cables, then the fuse panel is powered through the engine harness. Perhaps the power at the "A" (accessory) terminal on the ignition switch was lost.
