    I’ve got a 2004 Alumacraft tourn. sport 175, I just recharged the batteries. Got out on the water and everything was working and all of a sudden the graph went down and nothing will turn on. The fuses are all good and there is a small sticker that says the boat is equipped with circuit breakers and the manual circuit breakers must be reset by pressing the reset button. But I cannot fInd the rest button for the life of me. Any help would be appreciated as I am out on the flats of Mille lacs right now. The boat will start, so it has to be something with the front batteries. Thanks for any help.

    there should be a breaker on your trolling motor batteries, if they pulled power from here and it tripped you may not have power for the graphs. does the trolling motor work?

    the reset button has to be on the switch panel..probably right in front of you ..slow down look around..usually electronics are run off the starting battery..most batteries have a surge protector too check that too

    as mentioned the breakers are usually on the dash. That or follow the wires on the graph under the dash to see if there is an inline fuse.

    The only switch that works/lights up is the main. All others wont work/light up. Don’t see any buttons on the dash for reset

    by saying nothing is working, do you mean, no livewell pumps, no radio, no lights, or just the electronics??? do you have the graphs directly wired to the battery or are they wired through the boats wireing system???

    I to would look for inline fuses. Should have one for each electronic unit either near the battery or near the graph.

    Maybe simple but stuff you check the plug connections on back of graph, did they come loose?

    try and check the wire coming from the main switch to the fuse panel/other switches, sounds like that’s where your losing it.

    A possibility is that your electronics are wired to your fuse box. Thus all accessories are down together IF the feed from your starting battery to your fuse box is dead.

    I would check the positive and negative wires from the battery to the fuse box. It could be:
    * an in-line fuse near the starting battery that has blown or has corrosion, bad connection.
    * the ground wire has been broken or has a corroded/bad connection.

    Let us know if you can determine if there is power to your fuse box.

    My boat is only a few years older than yours. I have 2 fuse pannels: A pannel/block for AGC glass fuses where I can add accessories like GPS/Sonar and VHF. The other pannel has ATO/ATC wafer fuses that runs the other “stuff” besides the trolling motor.

    So, do you have a an additional pannel? Both of mine are located near eachother.

    Marty, do you have white buttons under your black switches?? I had them, I believe on my 06 Tourney Pro….those were circuit breakers if I recall right.
