Hey, I have a 2011 Sea Ray 200 Sundeck. It has been running fine this year, and started fine yesterday, although I noticed the bilge blower would not come on.

Today I tried to start it, and all it will do is turn over, but won't ever start. I double checked the kill switch and it is in the proper position.

I noticed not only will the bilge blower not work, but none of the gauges have power or the LCD screen that gives engine, depth, temp, ect. Also normally when I switch to the on postion on the switch before cranking the engine I would hear what I assume was the fuel pump turning on, I don't hear it now. The radio does work, but none of the gauges, and it won't start, just turn over a bunch. The bilge pump does work.

Aside from starting it yesterday it had been hanging at the dock for a few weeks. I thought the battery might be low, and it was so I tried a jump box but that didn't help. Charging it for a short time didn't help either.

I checked the fuses under the helm (the ones I could find anyway) they appeared to be ok, but I replaced them anyway, same results. I also checked the fuses by the battery and they looked OK.

I will probably take it to the shop next week, but I would love to fix it myself, not only cheaper, but it is currently stored at my dock and I would have to get towed to the launch to get it on a trailer.

Thanks for any help.

Breaker switch or a wire a positive wire going to the battery
 
Ok, so I got a chance to mess with it a little today. I took all of the wires off the battery and cleaned and reinstalled them. No luck... Then I messed the the breakers by the battery and on top of the engine. I pushed the button and the little arm popped out, I pushed the little arm back in (no experience with these) still no luck. I dont have anything to check voltage with, so I guess I will need to buy one.

Thanks again for the help.

Double check your marine battery switch that turns on and off the system. I had a boat that did the same thing. In the back of the switch 1 of the wires was corroded. Replaced end and fixed everything.
 
Thanks, where do I find that?
 
Not sure on your boat but look like this

On my sea ray they ran a wire from the dash strait to this switch. Unscrew and check the back bolts and lines
 
Thanks for the photo. Mine does not have anything like that, that I could find. We always just disconnected the battery when winterizing, no kill switch that I know of.
