Default Fuel Pump Question

I recently had the stern drive on my boat serviced. The engine is a 2000
Volvo 4.3 Gi/SX. I only had the stern drive serviced.

The week prior to taking it to the dealer, I changed all my filters
including the fuel filter, changed the engine oil, and changed out my sea
water impeller. I ran the engine repeatedly both before and after my work
and it was as smooth as could be. The fuel tank was full and I stabilized
the new tank of fuel prior to putting it to bed for our brief winter. I live
in Northern Calif so it was only put away from 1 Dec to early March.

After returning from the dealer I tried to take the boat out for a brief
run--no start and not a hint of sound coming from the fuel pumps. There
should be a 2 second priming period prior to turning over the engine.
Nothing, Dead. Not a hint.

I'm in the process of troubleshooting. I can't find any disconnected wires
or connectors. The battery is good and fully charged. The engine turns over
just fine. I reset the 50 amp circuit breaker (it didn't appear to be
tripped). My wiring diagram shows 4 other circuit breakers but I don't see
them on the engine itself. I'm on the way to work to pick up a digital
mulit-meter to check for power at the fuel pump electrical connections but I
thought I'd ask this group if there was something obvious that I might be
missing.

Taking the boat back to the Volvo service center is a 3 hour round trip so
if I can get this on my own, I'd like to do so.

Thanks,

P
