27 classic - Xmas parade tomorrow - lots of Xmas lites - on shore power looked great - took it out to see if lights work off inverter - no bueno -

Rotary switch at helm is on inverter - switch in batt comp is on - nada

Back at slip now and starboard side ac power outlets are nada !! Checked everything- may have to abort Xmas parade nooooo!

Not sure what year your boat is but if it is like mine there is a 3rd switch involved in the circuit. Its the inverter remote switch directly under the helm seat caty-corner to the rotary switch. So the power sequence would be: Inverter service switch ON in the battery compartment, inverter remote switch ON under helm seat, AC Source rotary switch to Inverter ON (at this point your should see voltage on the AC volt meter of your AC panel), AC Main panel switch ON, each outlet breaker ON. So I count a total of 5 switches ON to get power to your outlets. 6 really if you count port and starboard switches. Good luck. Gary
 
Thanks so much, finally figured it out on the inverter and Xmas lights -

Still have lost my stab ac outlets - lights on panel on and no breakers tripped (huhhh?)

Checked fuses behind the wheel in vberth- am I missing anything else??

Success

Nothing like a little pressure to home ones trouble shooting skills

Seems only one of the plugs port and starboard are gdx resettable Bingo thank you we are good to go!!

Good catch! So that makes it 6 working "switches" to get inverter power to one outlet if you include the GFCI in the circuit.
 
That’s the way it seems! I guess that’s the price we pay to simplify!!
