    Default Startup electrical help

    I got my 06 OBV (325 EFI) used in the fall and had it winterized right away but it was fine then. Batteries were taken out and on float chargers all winter. Saturday I did the fake a lake thing and everything started up great. Yesterday we went for our first water trip. Backed it in on the trailer, started it up just fine. So, I pulled out, picked the wife up at the dock after she parked the trailer and off to explore the river since it was the first time on that water.

    I get to the end of the river with no problems and then want to start messing with some of the things since the boat is new to us. I wanted to play with the perfect pass menus a little bit, so I started to do that and it seemed to lock up and not respond to anything (on/off, other buttons). So I figured I'd kill the engine and reboot it so to speak.

    Well naturally after I turn off the engine, it never starts again. It's not turning over, no clicking sounds, etc. I'd suspect battery but seems like everything else on the boat is working, but come to think of it I don't remember if perfect pass ever came back and the wake plate might not have been responsive. Long story short (and a long swim with a boat on my back) I'm looking for things to check out. It's my first boat and though I've been on them a long time I did forget to think about fuses at the time. I know it's not the kill switch, don't have a battery switch that would have accidentally turned off, etc.

    So once I get a chance to get to it in my driveway again, my short list is:
    - Hunt for blown fuses (would they just be in under the console?)
    - Try a jump of the batteries just to make sure that's not it

    If it's neither of those, anybody have any other insights? It worked and sounded great in the driveway the other day, and great yesterday right up until I turned it off.
