After letting her cool off for a few months, I just went out to the boat this past weekend to start it up. I noticed that I could not open the hatch...or turn on any other switches on my port helm control panel (hatch / FWD ACC / Etc). I look under the wheel and saw a breaker popped for the panel, which I reset, and the panel was working again. When I tried to use my starboard panel ( nav lights/anchor/ etc) it wouldn't work either. I double checked all of the CBs at the helm and the engine room CB box and all were good. Now here's the kicker, when I looked at the SR owners manual it says the helm breaker box is supposed to correspond to the starboard panel and the engine room box to the port. As I said, the breaker reset at the helm solved the hatch problem on the port panel. Does anyone know if these panels go bad frequently or if the CB boxes have issues? We've had a couple Nor'Easters and they might have gotten a little damp. Anyone have any good troubleshooting techniques? On a happy note, it was great to get back on the water!
