I seem to have lost power to all of my accessories. The boat starts so I believe the battery is still good, but none of my pumps or lights work. Any idea what may be wrong?

Look for a fuse under the motor cowl.
If you have integrity, nothing else matters. If you don't have integrity,
nothing else matters.
Need to reset 20A breaker in rear compartment
Maybe while you were doing some work in the rear compartment you removed the main power supply wire from the battery and forgot to reconnect it. Check your terminal connections at the battery.

I have the following wires running to the starting/accessory battery:
1. Heavy cables to both + and - I assume these are from motor in order for it to start.
2. Wires to both + and - from battery charger
3. Wires from steering unit (at least I believe it is the steering unit
4. Wires from the 20amp breaker in rear compartment
5. + wire only coming from bilge pumps
I tried to reset the 20 amp breaker in the rear compartment and I couldnt push it in, pull it out, turn it, and nothing. No movement on the red button at all.
The main switch at the console has to be on if all the accessories are wired off the switch bank at console
Yes, main switch at console is on.
Check the breaker about 6" from the cranking battery. That provides power to the console. If it's good go to the Power switch and see if you have power in and out of it. If not, Check the breaker for the Power switch

I did get a manual, but previous owner put some rocker switches on the dash and moved things around. I can not move the circuit breaker in the rear compartment. I did not see a circuit breaker under/behind the console, but I will look better now knowing there may be one there. Thank you!
Need to check bullet connector by 20A breaker. Also get under dash and see if it has voltage at main switch
I found the console circuit breaker panel under the console. Frankly I thought it was the old switches, but watching a restoration video it clicked with what you folks were telling me. I'm confident I can get it going from here, though it does bother me that the circuit breaker in the rear compartment does not seem to act like a breaker typically does where you can make it trip and reset it.
