Hello
I have a Sea Ray Sundancer 2000 with a Mercury 7.4 L MPI and Bravo 3 drive.
The problem is that it would not start, I turned on the ignition and everything worked as it should but how much or how long I was trying it did not start.
I tried to start it with startup gas and then the engine started.
Turn the engine of after 10 minutes and it did not start again.
Replace spark plugs and fuel filters and would try if it could start now but then came the next problem that I failed to solve.

When I turn on the ignition, nothing happens in the engine room and dashboardmeters does not work but everything else in the boat seems to work.
Power comes to the ignition switch, the battery is fully charged. Please help someone with this problem.
 
Try the breaker in the engine bay ( bilge) it should be located on the starboard side of the engine . It has a red button to push . ALSO double check that you are in fact in neutral the boat has a neutral safety cutout that wont allow it to start if its in gear. Best thing of all make friends at your marina and learn from them as much as you can . People like sharing knowledge
Best if luck and safety
Have a great season
 
I'm not sure if it was the same in 2000, but my boat will behave the same if the little switch where the safety lanyard goes is turned off.
