12V DC Outlet Stopped Working

[Team Bristow]

The family and I took the boat out this past weekend for the first time this year. On Saturday we used the 12V outlet several times both inflating and deflating various tubes and rafts, but when we tried to use it again on Sunday we had lost power to the outlet. The circuit breaker does not appear tripped, although I am not sure what it would look like if I had. I tried using the pump on another boat to be sure that it was not the problem and it worked fine. I bypassed the circuit breaker as a test and could not get power that way either so I assume that I have lost power further back along the line. Is there a fuse somewhere that I am not seeing? I tried to trace the wire while out on the water Monday but could not track it around the helm.

Any help would be appreciated, I don't have the lungs to blow up Big Mable.

Thanks,

Jason

Does everything else work? There are fuses in my boat in behind the round caps in the cdi boxes in the engine compartment but pretty sure these don't control accessories but not certain.

Everything else appears to work. I did not check the lights because we don't boat at night but I assume they work.

@Team Bristow I can think of two things that might cause your issue.

1. Circuit breaker tripped. Ours is a push to reset type. The accessory breaker is located just below the outlet on ours. Here's an example of ours pictured below.


2. Also, we have an accessory fuse located in the battery compartment area. It's in a sealed housing that is screwed to the side of the compartment.
