im totally miffed. My ice maker, cockpit outlet, and tv have no power on that run. I’ve located two gfi locations one in my galley cupboard and one in my bathroom Vanity neither of which are tripped. There is power to all other outlets. Am I missing a gfi somewhere or anyone have any ideas?
 
on your electrical 120 panel, you should have port & starboard breakers... Check them.

can' tell if your boat is a 410. If so check the guest bathroom in the cabinet for a gfi.

Mines an express so no guest bathroom. There is a gfi in the kitchen cupboard beside the fridge though. Does the sundancer?
 
In the cabinet adjacent to the fridge.

The dancer does. how about in the trunk? one of the breakers could be off where the 110 plugs in...?

I'll check that but seeing as everything other than basically 3 plugs are working I can't see it being the case. This is a new one for me. I even thought it have been a bad GFI so I installed a new one last night with no success.
 
Do you have more than one outlet in the cockpit? One may be a GFI.

I pulled up your manual - check section 12.37 - it shows (3) GFI's. However, it appears the one in your head controls all of the things that aren't working. Try swapping a known, good GFI to that location (before buying new) to see if that corrects the issue (or use a DVM to check for input/output voltage). Do any of the other loads on the head circuit work? I would start at the GFI and work downstream.

That's interesting that is shows 3 GFI but I can only find one. I am going to do exactly what you suggest and check with DVM or swap GFI's. Thanks for your help. I'll post an update once I try it this weekend.
 
Good luck. It "sounds" like a GFI issue... hopefully that's what it actually is!

Well I went down to the boat as it was driving me crazy and you are correct I DO have 3 GFI's! I have never noticed the one that sits on the starboard side cupboard in the back! Sure enough I reset it and all is well. That is crazy that they wired all the port side plugs to a GFI on the starboard side. Thanks for everyone's help. I have to admit I feel like a fool for not figuring this one out. Geez.
