OMC Four Winns has power at engine, but nothing at ignition

There I was, crusin on the lake when one of my exhaust couplers developed a leak and water sprayed all over engine compartment. During this time the motor just quit and I have no power at the ignition switch or trim tilt switch, no gauges no lights NOTHING... I can take a screw driver against the starter solenoid and turn the motor over so I have power after the main cannon plug, I just don't have any power from the ignition switch to the main cannon plug I am pretty sure there is some kind of fuse or breaker blown some where. I just cann't find it. Any ideas?? Thanks

On my 1988 4.3 there are a couple of (big covered in rubber) fuse holders mounted near the throttle linkage, they take the large 50 amp fuses.

Thanks everyone for the help, after looking for a while there is a hidden circuit breaker restinf under the main wiring harness that you have to kinda look at from the bottom. all is well now...
