Default Need help with 31 Sonic

I have a 31 Sonic and need help getting my shore power to work.When I plug it in I have no power at the panel in the cabin for accesories and the power light does not show that there is any power.Is there a switch somewhere for shore power.I do not have a owners manual,I also see that the battery charger is not getting any power either.It is a 97 if that makes any difference, any help will be appreciated.Thanks

I would give the factory a call they should be able to help you.
I had the same problem with my 28ss, but i don't remember
how we fixed it.

Should be an "AC MAIN" breaker on the panel. Usually, the red lite is a "Polarity Reversed" indicator lite. AC MAIN switch should be on, and then you turn on the individual breakers for Batt. Charger, Frig., water heater etc. Does your panel have a meter that displays incoming AC voltage?

The AC switch is on as well as the others and no power at polarity light, there is no meter to show power.I was told that possibly the fuse in the battery charger is burned out and that could cause the problem?I will replace it next time I am at the boat and see.Thanks for the response.I have some other questions as well.My oil temp light comes on if I run over 70mph for any lenght of time it comes on at about 230 degrees mostly on the port engine I was told it maybe set to low and should be around 275 degrees? Does anyone know the right setting.I do not know if it has oil coolers and would that be a solution,I did notice the engine temp also went up to 175 degrees from the 150 degrees it normally runs anyone have any suggestions.The oil is just changed and filters as well and is full.
Any ideas appreciated.

Check your contact on the back on the plug. It is behind the panel on the port side dash.
