HRG,

Thank you!

I know my starting battery powers the tilt as well. Interesting. I will check that out, but I thought that the accessories were powered by the deep cycle batteries. I could be mistaken, and if I am the fix will be simple.

For several reasons the boat is not in the water yet…still in the garage at the lake. I will get back there in a few days and hope you are correct!!!

Thanks again!

Dick

Thanks!

I have a 24 volt system with 2 deep cycle batteries. There are 4 in-line fuses coming off the batteries and all of them are fine. I have had them blow in the past and it is pretty obvious. So, I think Karry is probably correct, that there is an interruption somewhere between the batteries and the main power switch.

To check that completely I will have to follow the hot wire(red) from the origin to the switch. To do that I have to remove the console. I guess I was hoping for a simpler solution:-), but it seems like I have more work ahead.

Karry,

Thanks! The fuses all look OK visually, but I haven’t checked the continuity with my meter. All of the battery connections are correct, I have them all labelled and check them every year. I agree with you that there has to be a problem between the batteries and the main power switch. I am not getting any voltage to the switch with my meter.

To check the continuity of the wiring I will have to pull off the top of the console as you just can’t see the whole length of the wiring from below.

All of the in-line fuses in the wiring are intact. My brother-in-law is an electronics technician and will be visiting soon. We can work on it together and I don’t need to fix it to use the boat.

Looks like a bit of work ahead!

Dick
