Bilge DC Distribution panel Located

[troggles]

Hi found this panel hidden away, how can i tell if anything has tripped, electronics breaker as i have no 12volts working on helm apart from bilge pump.

Dont get ready to laugh here, but know on helm you have little black switch things how do they un screw as it says to hold and press in to reset yet nothing happens, could i have to go to bilge dc panel first :smt021

i am thinking something must have tripped to have no Dc working, like a trip switch in my home, which is then easy reset, if you know what you are doing.

I just realized that if your bilge pump works, then my theory about a dead battery is 'dead in the water'. OK, bad pun, bad theory.

I think that when those breakers trip, the little center part pops out, and you push it in to reset it. If they are like mine, the little round ones, then it actually says that around the edge of the button. But it is just engraved, tiny lettering that is almost impossible to read.

I don't think all your breakers at the helm would be tripped, so you need to find the main breaker panel. I think I just figured out how I can locate it. I can download the parts manual for your boat, and it should point it out.

From the parts diagrams, it looks like the main DC breaker panel is in the bilge, starboard side, about even with the front of the engine. It should be vertically mounted fairly high up.
