Today I had a problem with the trim pump and the up solenoid not working so after I got her up on the trailer, I had to jump the up wire on the pump to get the drive raised. Once I got home, I tried to start the engine and when I turn the key I get one beep but the smartcraft gauges do not respond or come on and the boat will not crank. All other switches work and I have checked all fuses behind the fuse door under the steering wheel and the fuses beside the battery switch. I have even checked some fuses that are on my engine as well. Is there a fuse for the smart craft system somewhere else I can look? or what may be the problem. batteries have plenty of charge.
Thank You

***SOLVED***
it ended up being the breaker mounted on top of the engine. I tried pushing the red button in several times but nothing was happening as a result. After a while, I looked it things real good and noticed a yellow nub protruding out the bottom of the breaker. I ran my finger over the nub and felt it rock with the swipe of my finger. once it moved, I pressed it on up into the breaker and felt it click into place. WOW. I ave never seen a design like this one and probably could have been out in the engine bay for a long time if I had not spotted the little yellow switch on the engine fuse breaker. Looks like this but was tucked beside a bracket and couldn't really see the yellow lever.
