No power to anything? Do some items power up? If you have a ground fault GFI outlet on board, check to see if it tripped.

Do you have volt meters on your panel? If so, do they read anything? Did you try cycling the main breaker on and off?

On my F32, there is also a breaker at the aft end of the starboard side cupboard in the salon. Seems to have something to do with the AC main before you get anywhere near the panel under the wheel...

If your system is like mine, there may be a polarity breaker near the breaker panel. I hate to nitpick, but boats don't have "Kitchens". Galley is the proper term.

try turning off you shore power at the dock , then reset you breakers . inspect the power cord ends for burning and turn bad on the dock power and see what happens .

Glad you got it going. On a side not, check out the Rendezvous thread. If you're in Kent Island, think about a trip over to Solomons in July.

110v gremlins on your side, 12v on mine. a perfect team.
did you reset the main breaker dockside? also, there was a 50a breaker on the forward bulkhead in the bilge on my 32, but that was for the genset, and then wired to the main panel.
