Default Kingfisher electrical issues

Ok
Bought a kingfisher boat (1976) as a means to enjoy learning the ins and
outs of boating. I have ran into an issue with the electrical in the
boat. The bilge pump, the live well, and the nav lights are not working.

Since this is my first boat, and since little information is found on
this particular boat, I'm reaching out to see if there is a fuse box, or
other device that might of gone bad to cause the equipment not to
function properly. I tried looking for some kind of manual for the boat,
but all I find is the engine manuals. I have charged both batteries and
they seem to be holding a charge, yet, power does not seem to reach the
previously mentioned equipment.
Kinda stuck here while I figure it out.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!


Are you sure it's the wiring? Have you checked for voltage at the pump and live well? Are the bulbs
good? If you have a dash panel, take the panel off and see what's there. May be some fuses. Test to
see if you're getting anything at the switches.

Do you own a multimeter? If not, get one.
