Salpa Laver 32.5 electronics problem and fuse box

[mossoi]

Hi, I have a problem with the electronics on a Salpa Laver 32.5. It seems that anything on one circuit, labelled Electonics on the switch panel, has stopped working. This includes microwave, air-con, AM-FM radio and possibly other things. All the other circuits (fish finder, fridge, lights etc. seems to be working) so I'm thinking it's possibly a blown fuse but I really have no idea about boat electrics!

Does anybody have any idea where I might find the fusebox or whether it may be a different problem? I've found nothing on Google or in the manual.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Welcome to iboats!

I imagine a boat that size has multiple batteries. Are all the items that aren't working 12V? Is there a push-in circuit breaker on the switch panel? There should also be circuit protection within a foot of the battery on the positive lead. Look for an 8 or 10 gauge wire.

Is this what your helm looks like?

If so, there should be a fuse or circuit breaker panel up under the helm.

Thanks for your input NYBo. That is almost exactly the same helm. I'll take a look under there and see if I find anything.

There are two main batteries and a third generator battery, all seemingly in good order. I'll have another look at the switch panel although I didn't see anything obviously breaker like and the panel seems to be getting power. I think I checked the breaker near the battery you mentioned but again I will recheck that.

All the 'dead' items are 12V which is what leads me to believe it's a fuse/breaker problem in the first instance.
