Electrical - 2006 226 Mercruiser

After a nice day on the water I went to flush my engine . When I turned the key to start I had nothing / no gauges, no starter click, no radio. Oddly though bilge pump, blower, Nav lights functional. At a loss - where do I start. 1st thing I did was pressed reset on 50 amp fuse on engine (6.2 Mercruiser). Batteries are both good

Check the 90 A fuse block on the starter
P/N 84-863657A1 or what ever the latest P/N is for your boat
I keep a spare. There a way to check by turning the key and check the alternator lead do a search of MarineEngine.com for mercruiser. Good luck

Make sure the shifter is in neutral and the kill strap is in place.
