Default Electrical Issue

I have a 1995 Mariah Shaba 210, which I was getting ready to put on the lake last week and during my preparation, I lost all power to my electrical system. no ignition, radio, horn, lights, nothing. I know there are fuses under the dash, and a electrical bar of wiring connections behind the battery on the back of the boat. I also know I have a reset button on the side of the engine. if I have checked all of these functions and still have no power, where do I go next? I am at a loss.

    Probably 4 times out of 5 the problem is down to a poor connection on the battery cables. Trace each one, take the connections apart, clean & reconnect.

    Not sure if my 1996 Z210 Shabah has the same setup as your 95 but I had the same thing happen a few years ago. It was a breaker that had popped. Mine has a breaker panel on the side wall below the drivers counsel which has reset breakers for all the electrical systems.

    Thanks for this info as both boats are likely identical!
