I took my boat out to the river after I got it out of the shop, and it turn over two times then all the power died. The only power that the boat has now is the pumb that pumb the water out of the boat. The horn and the time stop working also. What could it be??

Under the dash.There is a fuse panel.
Check there for a blown fuse.
At the battery,check for loose connections.
Maybe??? The breaker on the motor??Usuall it has nothing to do with the boat power.
The bilge pump is wired direct to the battery.For just this reason.
You might not be able to start but you won't sink.

Didn't see a fuse box, but the fuse at the batter is good..

There has to be a fuse block somewhere on your boat. I bet its just a little hard to get to like mine. I have to lay on my back and shimmy under the steering wheel to see it. It is just to the left of the back of the steering wheel.
