Can Not Get Power To Bomber Bass boat

[bouncer56]

I did write another post in the general question before I noticed this section.

I have a 1988 Bomber Bass Boat we got from my wife's Dad that ran 4 years ago.

Now I can not get any power when I turn the key on. I have checked the panel to the right of the center console where there are a bunch of switches for power.I think I remember seeing a power..not sure. I turned that on to .

I checked the back left of the boat next to where the battery hatch opens up. There is a gauge with a switch for run and battery. I switched to run. it does nothing when you switch to battery either. I charged two of the 3 batteries that are in the back compartment.

Ihave no idea where to look next. Any help would be awesome.

Thanks guys.

I am not a boat pro yet but I am experienced in electricity on vehicles, and I would recommend going to any major hardware store around and buying a cheap digital multi meter...usually around 10 bucks, and can be found at most stores that sell tools....it will then allow you to follow the flow of electricity, will make your troubleshooting so much easier....start with checking all connections and do a good visual check of the cables from the battery to the ignition, often a connection will become green and corroded and break off on the season toys...and I have had allot of switches stop working because of insects building their homes inside them and stopping them from making a good contact in my seasonal stuff, good luck
