Follow the juice! If you don't have a test light or a multi-tester (volt/ohm/milliammeter) and know how to use them you will chase your tail. You've told us what DOESN'T work but you haven't told us what accessories DO work. Did you check the fuse or circuit breaker back at the battery? If that's blown nothing works except the gauges. If some accessories work and others don't, check for power INTO the switch that controls that item. If not present, work backwards to where power comes from. If power is present, turn on the switch and check the OUTPUT (load) side of the switch. No power = bad switch (provided there is power IN). If power is present on the load side of the switch then check for power at the device. If present then check the ground for that device. There must be a complete circuit for anything to work.

Welcome to iboats!:cool:

You need to check for a fuse or circuit breaker near the battery on the 8 or 10 gauge positive lead that feeds the fuse block.
