I have recently purchased a 1987 28.5 .I have power everywhere except the ignition panel. I can start the engine by shorting out the starter soleniod..but nothing at the switch. Any ideas?

DC Main on?
John: Do you have the DC Main switch on and the batteries on 1 or both or 2? Just starting with the basics !!! If this is the case, I would switch all the DC & AC breakers to the on position and see if something is cross wired or mis=labeled!

John,
There are two large connectors aft of the starter near the bellhousig. If they are loose you will loose power to the panel. Pat McCartin Inland Marine Diesel Buford, Ga imd_ga@hotmail.com

Also look for a fuse holder near the back of the
alternator. If the fuse is blown, you get no power to the panel.

I'm with Fred.
You do not state the engine model. My Yanmar 2QM20 has a fuse mounted on the engine block. It is under a plastic cover and behind the alternator as Fred points out. Fuse can be seen in attached wiring diagram from the Yanmar manual, at top/left on the red wire.
