Good Sunday Morning!

I'm hoping for some help here, longtime lurker - first time poster....

My 91 or 93 (not sure?) PQ 290 Enticer which I love, does not want to play the sound out of the stereo deck or the TV on DC power - the head unit of the stereo lights up, but no sound.

Everything works fine on AC power.

I cannot locate 2 components - the Power Inverter or the stereo AMP (if there is one)

I have tested all the batteries, everything tests out fine.

I can get the stereo to work for moments, after the boat has been running - but it's literally like the invertor is bad.

Can anyone comment back to me? My OCD is not allowing me to walk away from this on this day. lol

i found a thread where it talks about running a ground from behind the rocker switches to the neg side of the battery - i'll try that i guess, see what happens.

well, i found all the components, easy enough. any direction now would be helpful, thanks in advance.

This is somewhat outside my area of expertise, but given that the head unit is essentially an automotive stereo isn't it *always* on DC power? If it works on shorepower, I would assume the inverter is working just fine: Shorepower (AC) -> inverter -> DC feed to the stereo.

If the unit is not working directly from the battery, that sounds like a different issue.

P.S. you might try posting this in the technical section, might get more looks there.

Well I got it figured out.

Basically I grounded all the batteries together - it's really that simple....

Of course I got bored after that, and installed new speakers, subwoofers and amps as well as a new head unit..... lol - thanks,,,
