Hatch is wired direct to battery so it always has power. Yes there should be a buss bar somewhere either under driver dash or pass dash. You mentioned an inverter clicking, do you mean battery charger or real inverter? If you have an inverter I would look at that. On my boat, shore power only gives 120 volts to battery charger and gfi outlet in cabin, no inverter

the red wires in the picture go back towards the battery switch. I don’t see a bus bar anywhere. I might have to remove interior panels to gain access to port side gunnel

so on the other side of the battery switch panel there are breakers at the bottom and a switch and gauge? in the middle. you have power at every single point there? is one of the circuit breakers power to the front switches for each side? not knowing how it was wired and just looking at pics makes it tough but if there are breakers in the rear that have power and then no power up front then it is in between which shouldnt have another connection point but who knows. with both failing is sounds like there is a hidden switch for theft protection or such in between that may have failed or was unknowingly turned off.

Do you have a fuse on your starter solenoids? Mine has them and they popped on me this year... theyre just a square white piece, that hot wire goes to. Had nothing at helm, as you did. Its possible they just popped when you hooked up batteris. If you turn key on, and theres no power at solenoid post, but power going to fuse post, then thats likely your issue.
