Re: No power to port side panel AFT 1983 Carver 28 Mariner
There is a “reset” or something down near the starter solenoid that I am not familiar with. Have not diagnosed it in any way yet. It’s a little red button with wires running to it and the solenoid and the transmission. I have pushed it but it doesn’t change anything.
My solenoid doesn’t click when I turn the ignition switch because there is no power at the panel/switch.

Re: No power to port side panel AFT 1983 Carver 28 Mariner
I'm reposting the diagram that was posted earlier. It's not clear where the pins are on there, so I circled them in RED. If you look near the center of the picture, you'll see "Engine Breaker". That's the RED button on your engine and is the main power to your instrument panel. It also goes through the fuse on the panel that you already checked (but on the diagram that is labelled "20A IGN Breaker (dash)".. but yours is a glass fuse) Pin 5 on the connector and it should be a red wire. That's the most important one, but the ground (pin 1, black wire) must also be good as well.

However, the problems you're having have nothing to do with shore power, so don't get distracted by that. Is there something on the shore power side that is making you think it's an issue?
