MERCRUISER ECT 8.2 MAG HO DTS BR3X
I have a 2018 280 SLX with tower speakers and they are not working. I know the tower speakers were an add on. I believe it is just a fuse but I do not know where it is located. Does anyone know the location of the fuse or if it something else?
 
Speakers aren't fused.

Check the settings for your stereo - you have "zones", right? Make sure that zone is "on".
 
Find the amplifier for the tower speakers. It will have a power light illuminated if it has voltage and is turned on. Lights are normally green or blue and solid. Red or flashing indicates an issue. Make sure all the cables are fully seated into the amp. The may have onboard fuses. It will definitely circuit protection at its voltage source. Likely a breaker, but could be a fuse if it was installed after the boat left the factory.

If this is the first time using the boat this season, then check the battery are for a missed power cable. Very common issue in the spring, when batteries get reinstalled or replaced.

this also makes a lot sense. I will take a look this week. I will let you know what I find.
