May be a shot in the dark but sounds like it could be one of the self resetting circuit breakers. Mine are under the rear bench seat, completely separate from all the other panels. What year is the boat?

Check the $30 90amp thermal fuse at the starter motor? Thatblew on mine when I got a short at the main engine harness.

sounds like a fuse, check all 1st then check the hot wire panel boards, I have two instead of having a bunch of wires going to the batts where a lot of the wires go to, or ground panels. good luck hope you find it quick.

Not the 20 amp next to the trim pump, nor the 9 pin connectors & my azz can't get to the starters. The breakers under the seat are all good & it would have to be all of them to get this problem. There must be a breaker somewhere that I can't find. Electric is nothing but fustrating for me, not to mention that I'm on vacation. I called a friend to give me a hand w/it. I'll let u know what happens & thx for the help.

If it turns out to be any of the responses, I will pay off.

My boat does the same thing @ night if I have all the lights on, I'm talking cuddy lights running lights & so on & I have subs and an amp if the radio is turned up it will shut everything off besides the engines they will run & start but nothing else, all I've ever done is just shut everything down a few minutes later they all kick back on learned to just keep the bass turned off @ night & it doesn't do it, happen to me once on the Ohio river passing the biggest barge I've ever seen n my life

I've also checked all these fuses being named besides the 1 @ the starter & they are all fine... I just asumed I was pulling to much power haven't had the problem since I started turning the bass off @ night

Even though those breakers dont look popped out, mash on them. Mine were under the bench. They looked fine then you push on them and they went back.

Did you push on them or just look? Mine always popped at night. That can be a pain in the ass.

Battery switch - half the electrics - I had that gremlin once -

[VtSteve]

The last time I've seen something happen like that, one of the connectors had managed to come right off the battery terminal itself. It's standard procedure in the spring to make sure all connections are secure, but sometimes they don't get done properly.

The battery switch isn't a bad thing to check either depending on how your boat is wired up.
