Electrical Issue

[Grousehunter]

Hi, Just went down to the marina to check on the boat and discovered an electrical issue. I am hooked up to shore power and I have power to the fridge and the furnace comes on but I have no cabin lights and no power to the helm. I have three batteries and cycled the battery switch but no luck. Only thing I can think of is dead batteries but all three at once seems unlikely and considering i'm hooked up to shore power I would think at least the cabin lights should work. Any insight is appreciated.
Thanks

Was your battery charger turned on? Also, you gave us no details about your boat (make/model/year) - this information would be helpful.

I agree with Kevin. Please update your profile as it currently indicates that you are boatless.

1 bad battery in a bank will drag the others down.

All is good - sometimes we overlook simple things while looking for big problems.
