Stereo power faiure
Stereo power faiure
Not sure if there's anyone on here with a 97 232, but I had a sudden loss of power to my cigarette lighter and stereo while using our portable pump to blow up the kids tube. The pump is powered by plugging it in to the cigarette lighter. I was using the pump with the engine off. The battery switch was in the "all" position. After the power loss I started the boat without any issues. Still no power after it started up. Am I correct to assume this is probably a fuse? Also, since the boat is new to me I'm not sure where the fuse panel is located. Any assistance would be most helpful.

Those pumps can draw a lot, so yes, probably a fuse. I'm not familiar with 232 so I do not know where the fuse is.Matt J wrote: Tue Jun 25, 2019 1:00 pm Not sure if there's anyone on here with a 97 232, but I had a sudden loss of power to my cigarette lighter and stereo while using our portable pump to blow up the kids tube.

First check your circuit breakers if you have them on your model. Mine are located under the helm on the left side. It could be that one tripped which runs the items you mentioned. They are simple "pop in - pop out" circuit breakers and to reset them just push them back in.
