Both GPSs do not work and the radio doesnt work either. Where is the fuse that connects all three. Ive had this problem before but I would just hit the reset button by the master power switch and it all came back on. Ive been in downpours the last 4 times out. 08 Sabre btw. TIA, Adam

There will be inline fuses somewhere under the dash….probably right above the light/lighter/reset switch but no fuse box anywhere. Your radio and all GPSs will have that inline fuse. Fuse for the radio might be on the back of the radio rather than inline on the power cable.

There are no inline fuses. You need to check the circuit breaker at the master power switch which obviously you have found. In addition, there will be another at the cranking battery which you should check. Either you have a bad circuit breaker or you have a short some where. Check to make sure the all the nuts are tight on the block which will be mounted on the transom. There will be multiple wires nutted on to this block and they should all be tight!

Check the main line circuit breaker, loose wires on the terminal block at the transom and the Master power switch. We do not put fuses in line on any LCR installation at BCB. No problems shorting without and lots of problems with. BCB

I just replaced one unit in warranty and upgraded on the bow. Both I pulled out had inline fuses. Both installed in Mountain Home in 2007……never say never.

I fixed it. I had a wire come loose on one of the harnesses under the dash and blew a fuse. Thanks for the help.
