Hi everyone,

Definitely not an electrician here, but looking for tips on troubleshooting an issue.

Dual batteries are hooked up and confirmed to be charged. Motor can start. Master control switch (green light) lights up as normal, hour count gauge and fuel gauge and direction reading are showing (digital displays).

Downstream from that, none of the accessories on the dash work (horn, lights, bilge pump, radio, fish finder, etc).

I don't have a wiring plan for the boat (2012 2575 QCW)... Any tips on where to begin for troubleshooting?

Thanks in advance!
 
check for a small red wire that did not get hooked up to the batteries.
 
Check under your helm for loose wires/connectors on your switches .. I had a connector that I ended up putting a zip tie on . Also check your breakers .
 
Negative connection between batteries might be another item worth checking out if the above doesn’t solve it. Ask me how I know. :rolleyes: :D
 
Sorry if I hijacked the thread, but it seemed like a good title for my problem.
So, I'm kinda jumping into this with a similar problem of my own. I have a 2016, 20SL, that I bought earlier this summer. It was a consignment boat at a local dealer. Really loving the boat! Everything has been working very well...until yesterday when all the console panel switches went dead. They kind of flickered and kind of worked for a bit, but now are all dead. I used my multi-tester and checked all of the circuit breakers for continuity (all good). I've also tested the red and black wires for continuity (all good) I have power at the main line and all the way to the end of the console wiring harness...UNTIL... (while I kept the multi-meter on, showing 12.5v) I turn any switch on, then the power goes off.
To say that I'm perplexed is an understatement to say the least!
I'd appreciate any help that I can get?
Thank you in advance!
 
Are all your connections under the helm secure ? I had one that kept coming loose I finally put a zip tie on it . Also check your breakers.
 
Any corrosion on a connection?
