I would make sure the house battery is fully charged first.

They are charged and went on the water.

What the voltage level of each battery?

What year and model boat is this?

Your screen is done, my brother had this same issue with a 2012 RZ4. Call your dealer and get a new screen on order.

I respectfully disagree. I wouldn't get the dealer to order a new screen just yet. I also had a 2015 Z1 and experienced the exact same issue soon after buying the boat (brand new at the time). We were on Lake Havasu when everything was running GREAT, and still in the break in process. We hit some rough water on the biggest part of the lake and the screen went completely dark. We couldn't figure out what was going on. The boat was still running, I just couldn't see anything on the screen. We took it out of the water immediately, checked fuses, restarted her, we were clueless. We took it back to the dealer (4 hour drive) and he couldn't figure it out at first either. We received a call the next day that the boat was fixed and ready to be picked up. Come to find out, the mechanic knew almost immediately what the problem was. Hopefully Justin doesn't get upset at what this mechanic had to say, but according to him "the factory often puts things together in a hurry, and the wire connectors aren't always secured the way they should be. It was already probably loose when you hit that rough water and it just came apart enough to lose power to the screen. It looked like it was still connected, but as soon I touched it, we realized it wasn't connected completely. We secured all of the connections and wrapped them so you shouldn't have any more issues". Check ALL the connections under the dash and make sure they are all secure before calling your dealer for a new screen. I would also take it in and ask them to take a look before ordering a new screen. They aren't cheap. Make sure that's the problem before spending that much money.

I completely agree with D&P - before jumping to a failed screen, I would make sure these easy things are 100% correct. Most of the failures I have seen have been buttons not working or the screen jumping between inputs and such. That's when the screen needs to be replaced...not necessarily because it doesn't power up.

First thing I would do is put the battery switch in combine, with a charger on it and see if the screen power up....
