Help - 2013 z1 dies. Radio works. Won't start

There are circuit breakers all over books and crannies of the boat , there are a few at the back off the ACR ,and a few mounted up and behind the main disconnect etc..

I didn't see any by the batteries. I will check there this morning.

But like chp. Said check the batts as well, even brand new batterys fail , I keep mine on a genius battery charger and even only being one year old , the house batt can no longer hold a full charge ,

Can you tell me exactly where the fuse is for the starter? I will also check batteries this am.

[chpthril]

Cranking battery is connected directly to starters main post, no fuse. The solenoid wire is likely protected pre switch.

[dmbisbest]

What should the batteries crank at? Going to put them on a tester in a few minutes.

[chpthril]

A fully charged battery should be 12.5-13.0

Does not having a fuse for the bilge matter? That wouldn't cause my issues, right?

[Z1Fan]

So do you have any battery voltage ?? I am also wondering if a wire has discconected as well ??

No because I believe the bilge is on a circuit breaker ,

Batteries tested at 12.33 and 12.58

Now have no power to anything, other than the manual switches under the steering column.

[Z1Fan]

Okay , you need to make sure your switch is on , if no power then , you need to check If a wire or more likely a ground has come off , put a voltage meter on the starter solenoid and see if there is power there

Now testing circuits up front, they seem to be getting power also. This is frustrating as $hit.

[dmbisbest]

We have checked all the ground wires we could find. They are all good. Since there is power to the upfront circuits, could it be the ignition switch?

Actually it's kinda fun , you learn a lot about your boat , and it's like a puzzle ,it's how I learned about my boat
