1986 268DA No power for accessories. Lights,horn,pumps most 12v

[Mrdleek]

I have no power to the accessories switches or individual fuses at the dash. I have power at other areas trim tabs, spot, radio and ship to shore. I'm looking for a central fuse location or panel. I read some SeaRay's near this year and size have a bilge panel I cannot find it.
Can someone give me some info.
Thanks:smt100​

I have a 268 and it has a fuse panel under the dash, under the steering wheel. This should have an orange wire that is fused. The orange wire is the 12v power for all that exists behind your dash. Of course, there are individual fuses for each circuit, but I'm assuming you've checked those.

Thanks for your suggestions. After 8 hours of chasing wires, Cleaning corroded fuse faces and contacts it came down to a tangling orange wire. By the way I bought this boat last fall and it has not been in the water for 4 years other than my sea trial. It appears that someone added a tougle swtich that cuts of power to the accessories with a indicator light. To top it off it also appears that the ignition was replaces. In either case the last fuse thats in series for the row of accessories had a tangling orange wire with a terminal on it with no where to connect. It may have been attached to the hot side of the ignition but there's no place to attached it. So I tested the hot side of the cutoff switch just before the indicator light, and guess what all the accessories powered up.
I make a perminient connection and I feel great.
I wanted to give the next guy with this problem a little insight on the potential solution.
Enjoy the weather
