Everything works but the outlets. Switch is on and I have hit reset button. New to me boat so I am still figuring things out. Don't know where the fuse box is! Thanks guys.

It could be either a failed outlet or a failed breaker. Do you have a multi-meter? Take off the outlet cover plate and see if there's power coming to the outlet.

The safety issue is that when a GFCI trips, it can create a spark. I'd replace that GFCI with a regular non-GFCI outlet, and put the GFCI on one of the other outlets (cockpit or cabin). Better yet, hard-wire the charger and get rid of the outlet.

@06Rinker270, sorry for hijacking your thread. Did you find a GFCI in your engine room?
My boat was built with a disconnect on the hot water heater (It basically looked like the heater was plugged into an extension cord). I had a hose come off on my starboard engine and it shot antifreeze around the bilge. It seemed like things were pretty dried out. I turned on the generator for showers and such. That thing shorted out and caused the wire to burn up. I had to run a new wire from the box to the heater.
