    there is a connection behind the fuse box that connects the fuse box to the 6ga. pos. wire from the battery! I found the problem back in 2013 on a rt-188 when i was running extra cables!

    Did you check the main breaker?

    Haven’t checked to see if it’s bad. I made sure it was on though. I’m going to check the wiring behind fuse panel today. To see if any wires are loose. Thanks for your suggestions I really appreciate it.

    I would switch it back and forth a couple of times. Also check you terminal connections at the battery. You may be getting voltage, but no amps. (I have been fooled many times because of only checking voltage and not amps.)
    The way Ranger wired the boat, that breaker only controls the 12V supply to the helm, but not the motor controls.
