    Power problem

    Went out today and have no power to my front screens , two days ago everything was fine but today no power.
    The screens of my consul is working, and my trolling motor has power. Can anybody point me in the right direction on what to start checking ?

    Take power cord off and check pins with a voltmeter. You say screens so assume you have two on bow, did you run dedicated wiring or is it factory?

    Just happened to me pre fishing Toledo. a wire connection failed , seperated, in the bow area. took the bow plate off and spotted the issue that evening.

    Just now had time to look some more and here what I’m finding, hoping for some more help on here…
    it is blowing a 5amp fuse in fuse box under steering wheel, I put new fuse in and as soon as I push the main power button beside steering wheel the fuse blows.
    Not sure how to track it down, should I start from fuse box and go back to batteries or go from fuse box up to graphs ?
    I guess I’m just looking for a bad connection or damaged wires ?
    thx for any input

    possibly a short, I would think between fuse box and bow.

    Yup, that's what I would be guessing. While you are in there, might as well run a new set of wires for the front graphs. The factory wiring is a little small, and being factory it's going to be very difficult to remove.

    I just fixed it , wound up being a bad connection under the bow panel.
