Laughs..I know your all patiently waiting to hear..
Bill and BT.. you guys had it.

Thanks again guys for the suggestions!!
Bt.. mailbox cleared
Mike..thinking the battery may be the problem but..Trim works so horn, stereo, etc should work too
Bill..got Trim working fine now, switch was sticking, goes up and down fine (working)
Mechanic comes today so hopefully he will know the...
Got a mechanic coming Wednesday to have a look at it..may try a meter today though. I know it has to be something simple that is being overlooked.
Bill I thought for sure it was going to be that other 50 amp breaker near the battery that was the problem
Bt 100% sure I did not misconnect wires
Checked it Bill, pushed the red button and yellow leg popped out so guess that's not it. Disconnected the negative battery post and then reconnected it. Heard something buzzing inside engine compartment..went to try horn and stereo..still nothing again (key in ignition)
Thanks guys but don't believe there is a battery switch..nothing visible anyway and I did not touch it if there was one. Also I had checked stereo/horn before removing the battery and they worked.

Bill/David you guys have fantastic boats..
Dennis would my boat be a special order or something???and I will go with your second idea Dennis and cut the board/bottom to fit. No way it is just tight btw
Bill what is the difference between the 24 and 27? Funny yours is not the same as mine? It is quite heavy. This battery may not be shot as I have it on the trickle charger and is up to 12.6
Blake I read about the Optima and it looks good
Thanks David but we can now access the battery though the compartment which is above it.
Pics were sent to Dennis
As far as replacing the battery does anyone have any suggestions??
Currently has an Interstate Marine Battery 27M-XHD...800CCA-1000MCA
