Re: Battery installed incorrectly

DC appliances are sensitive to reverse polarity.

Chances are the items that aren't working will have to be taken apart and serviced internally. There is normally internal components that will blow and need replaced.

To double check pull the unit out of the dash and try the direct to the battery. If they work direct wired than you have a wiring issue on the boat. If they still won't work you'll need to find a service center.
