Default 98 Z260 Electrical problems

I recently quit getting 110 ac from shore power through out the boat. First noticed when battery charger not getting ac. getting ac to the panel and out of the breaker. Can't find it anywhere else. Thinking it must be a breaker tripped somewhere but I can't find one. Wiring diagram not much help. Checked all gfi plugs i could find. Any Ideas?

    Have you performed any diagnostics yet? Do you have shore power coming in and out of the main breaker in the electrical panel in the main cabin?

    try removing and reinstalling the brakers had a similar issue before (not with a boat) were you would get the 110 but as soon as you put a load on the circuit you lost voltage ended up being corroded connections

    Thanks that sounds viable. My next step is to try and find the inverter. The manual says the 110 passes thru it when on shore power. Thinking it may be stopping there. Anyone know where that would be located?
