Smile About to join the Scarab family

I will close on a 33 1999 Scarab AVS on Wednesday. Twin 502's with AC shore power with trailer. Excellent condition.
Purchased from second owner with 126 engine hours.

I can't wait to take her out. Live in Virgina and boat on the Chesapeake Bay. Will be selling a repowered Formula 252.

I will post pictures once I have her home.

Default No power to the DC Cabin Distribution Panel

Everything checks out but when I try the cabin DC panel switches and flip on cabin lights, stereo etc nothing comes on. It also has a distribution box that batteries run into in the engine compartment with fuses. The fuses have red round covers. My mechanic says these are not regular fuses but pop out when overload and just need to be pushed back in. Everything on the dash works and engine room lights.
Any ideas on where to look next or what may be causing the power not to get to the cabin panel?

Thanks

Are you plugged in? The DC only works when plugged into shore power. And your mechanic is right, those are not fuses per say, but actually circuit breakers. If and when they pop, just push them back in
