Hello.

I have a r25-sc and launched for the first time this weekend and realized that I had no power on my navionics, autopilot, radio, music et al. The engine computer had power. The breaker panel on the DC side had no power going to it, nothing switched DC comes on - - engine and thrusters perform fine.

What am I missing? Could something have been disconnected during winterization, like the main ground?

I'm stuck and thank you.

You are going to get a bunch of replies on this, but the simplest thing to do is make sure

1) that you turned on the house bank switch (you already turned on the engine, so I suspect you did that)
2) make sure your batteries are not dead. You can do this easily enough by simply turning on the parallel switch that links all the batteries together and seeing if you get DC voltage on the panel. If you have a solar array, then you should be able to see what your house bank battery voltage and your starter battery voltage are.

That's where I'd start. Then comes the hunt for the disconnection.
 
Likely your main breaker is tripped or turned off . Its a Blue Seas Systems breakerLooks Like This
Look towards front of engine compartment ,port side . If you see the diagonal bar coming down at 45 deg angle its tripped . Push it back up and you will then have power going forward to electronics and such. Follow leads from house battery switch to help find the breaker .

Thanks for the feedback, I will head out to my slip this afternoon and check the main breaker.
 
That did the trick, once I was able to find it - thanks for the help!
 
No problem ,happy to do so .
