No shore power

Hi - hoping for some help here. Just got my Rinker 2008 Fiesta Wee in back in the water for the season, but there is no shore power at all. No green light at the control panel, the fridge, microwave, etc not working. Cabin lights and panel lights are working, though. Is there a main switch somewhere or could it be a fuse somewhere?
Thanks!!

    There's an electric outlet beside your sink with gfci,  check to see it's tripped.   Mine trips every third or fourth time I unplug from shore power and repower.

    Hi Rick - thanks - very useful info. Do you refer to the sink in the cockpit or in the cabin?

    If your shore power connection for your cord is at the transom you might have a breaker close by that needs turning on.

    Thanks Graham - I have two - one at each side of the boat. Not close to the transom. Where could the breaker be placed in this case?

    I had a 342 FV which had connections on the transom and the port side. If you post your model # someone else might help you.

    I'm not sure where it is on the 270 but the 280 has an outlet cover under the back seating area on a sidewall that is a GFCI breaker.

    Are you sure the shore power is on and functional? Surely something not to overlook is the supply of shore power

    Could be your cord also.

    My gfi trips in the bathroom sometimes...but there is one, or two on the main panel.

    You are flipping the breaker on the main panel right, where the green light is? I have another panel of breakers at the helm..I don't think there are any at the rear seating...

    Thank you all for really good comments and input - I will now try to locate all the breakers and turn them on. (I know it is not the cord and the shore power.) I had an incident last season where the main fuse in the engine room failed and was replaced - so maybe that incident caused other breakers to flip, too. Thanks!

    You are more familiar with your situation than us but I wouldn't just immediately say it's not the cord or source. You should check everything starting with the source and work your way to the boat panel.

    And we typically just just jump to the worst case scenario and might be something simple...

    What model boat is it? That will help us narrow down the possibilities for us.

    If your using the stern connectors there is a double breaker (usually in cockpit Along with the one in cabinet it is a double breaker). The main panel has three sources shore power from stearn, shore power from side and generator is equipt.

    Hi All - thanks for great input - making it possible for me to do serious troubleshooting. The shore power is now back. It was a flipped breaker.
