Weird issue. I few a outlets like the one to the right of the galley seat and the one over by the bow mattress that are not working. The GFI outlet in the bathroom, doesn’t work. Also the light above the galley is not working. Not sure what happened they just stopped working.

Nothing appears to be blown. Fuses in cockpit look good, fuses in engine compartment look good. Fuses in panel next to captains chair look good (not tested)

what in the world connects all of this together? The outlet switch in the control panel doesn’t seem to control the affected outlets (it controls the one on the left side of the galley seat but not the right?)

hopefully someone has some advice for this

thanks

You have to find your GFI outlet, usually nicely hidden in bathroom cabinets. It will most likely be tripped, just reset. Knowing what boat you have will help others with better locations.

I found the gfi in the bathroom it was tripped and refused to rest a couple of times, then it reset but still no power to things. So far this is the only gfi I have found, nine in galley.

I plan on replacing it, I have seen them go bad before.

thanks!
 
Problem solved! As expected the input side of the gfi had power, no power on output side even when reset. Bad GFI. It looked somewhat corroded on removal, probably original outlet so can’t complain not the easiest thing to get at but not bad. Still this is the only gfi I can find
