From Western MD!

Did you, by chance, reverse polarity when you hooked up the battery? Don't ask how I know! Next place to look is your fuses.

Welcome from Bowmanville! Does your 183 have a battery disconnect switch?

NanPat,

Welcome to FRF.
Suggest that you post future questions in the Roo/Shamrock sub-forum.
You didn't post the year but newer Roos have a battery disconnect switch.
Your dealer should have shown you this during the PDI.

Otherwise you may have hooked up to the battery wires wrong and blew a fuse or tripped a breaker.

Most common cause is you reversed the battery wires
Or the battery disconnect switch is on.
Should be located on the A-frame.
