2018 Beneteua 38.1 no power to AC outlets

Has anyone had the same problem with a similar boat?

I ran a heat gun yesterday and a 1500 watt heater at the same time by mistake. The breaker didn’t trip for the AC outlets like it would normally when over loaded. All outlets don’t have power.

I’ve checked all over the boat looking for additional breaker boxes, but I’m coming up short.

My inverter works when turned on and has power, but it will not power the outlet either. My main breaker for the AC outlet is on and has the normal red light showing it’s powered on.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks Sam

If you still have AC power to battery charger and water heater and JUST outlets dead look for a GFI outlet. One GFI outlet first in a circuit will protect all the outlets on that circuit and is a method commonly used by builders.
Otherwise there should be a main breaker (not on panel) for all AC circuits within 10 feet of the shorepower plug.

Thank you Calif.Ted

Problem solved just a few minutes ago.

There is a GFI type switch behind the B&G marine radio and Fusion stereo.
