Back to work on my 89 Express Cruiser 340. Had a problem ith the 110 volt system not working. Had power to the panel but the outlets would not get power. Thought I had a broke wire in the circuit. Tried everything and got the inuries to prove it. Finally started chasing the wire from the panel to find the first outlet in the circuit. After about three hours of labor found the problem. Ground fault in a cabinet in the head was tripped. In a cabinet in the head.:smt021

Lesson learned. Look EVERYWHERE before you start tearing up
 
You also learned more about your boat :smt021
 
I had the same issues with my 05 390...feels good when you figure it out doesn't it???
 
I had the same issue in my house, i was replacing everything. Pushed a button and poof... worked. I know your pain. At least you fixed the problem :)
 
Well guys you have made feel 100% better. And yes I know how the wires run now. Hopefully my boat dude will get the bottom job done and I'll be in the water in the next week to 10 days. Man he is slow.

Again, thanks for the support
