My radio will not turn on can't find fuses

I have a rinker captiva 2002 272 bowrider. My radio would not turn on today. I can't find where the fuse box is located. How can I get my radio to work again?

A lot of Rinkers are wired such that you must have the ignition key on accessory for radio to get power.

It’s possible a wire fell off the back of the ignition switch also.

On my 342 it's wired direct to the helm positive bus bar with an inline fuse. It is not switched by ignition or the accessories switch.

No fuses on the 272. They were breakers like the others stated above.

If the radio is aftermarket, check the red wire coming from the unit to a power source. there is usually a fusable link (inline fuse). Just twist it apart to expose the fuse.
