We have since had it on the water...motor fine, as well as the tilt and trim and trolling motor. However Fish/depth finder,

Sounds to me like you have lost main power to the accessory panel. Did you check for fuses at or near the battery for fuses/circuit breakers?

Got a test light or volt meter handy? Start testing for voltage, start at battery & work out from there.

does the bass tracker have a switch labeled master and a white push button breaker down near the right of the seat? if it has the switch turn it on and off and few times and make sure the white buttons near the seat are pressed in. after that im afraid you will need a test light or a volt meter to find the problem as this may be a corroded or bad connection after it got wet.
