Shore power

Legend, we are trying to tell you that there is "no direct wire to the charger" all Sea Rays get power to the charger through a circuit breaker switch on your 110v AC panel labelled "convertor". Do you see that? It must be on to send 110v power to the battery charger. Sometimes that circuit breaker switch will fail. That is what you need to check.

Are you saying that the main switch is defective if that is the case why does everything else work

To me when u say converter to me it means charger charger, converts 110volts to 12 volts that's my converter

Correct.

So from we can tell is that you don't have power to the supply side of your charger. So working back from there you will have to check that circuit back to the panel. Since you said the charger works when you put a plug on it and took power from a receptacle, this tells me there is something amiss in the circuit that feeds the converter.

That is correct, so I have to take the entire circuit breaker board out.
 
Everything in your panel is on it's own circuit breaker. Each one of those switches is it's own circuit and one can go bad while the rest are fine. Do you see the switch that is labelled "convertor"? that is where you need to start.
 
That panel will open up on a hinge so you can access each of the individual circuits. They are replaceable one at a time and pretty cheap.
 
If you just replaced the charger it might be drawing too many amps (oversized) and fried the switch. It is pretty easy to replace.

Ok get back to u guys thanks so far keep u posted cocktail have one on me lmao
 
Get a DVM and back track from the power/feed wire, on your charger/converter that you say has no power, and see where you lose the incoming voltage.

That's part of my next step when it gets a little cooler thanks guys
 
Most panels I've seen say "Converter" or "AC Converter" that is the breaker for the battery charger. As you see in this attached picture someone actually relabeled the breaker "Battery Charger".

Won't have a picture until tomorrow thanks
 
We don't need no picture. DVM and like other guy said, it's probably the breaker in the panel. This is simple stuff.
 
Guys, we're going about this the wrong way....

Legend, you say you've had this boat for 8 years and yet you do not understand the simplest tips being given to you nor how your electrical panel works. From your comments it does not appear you have the skills to troubleshoot and repair this.
