Won't do anything

I pulled my pontoon out to go to the lake yesterday and I had no power at all. We were out two weeks ago and everything worked fine. It is a 2012 18 foot Bass Buggy. I checked all the fuses and breakers that I knew of and all were fine. Any suggestions?

First Welcome!
Check the lights and other battery powered stuff. If they work check the " kill switch". if not the battery may be dead.

Been there, done that too. Mine was while taking the brother in law out for the first time too. I even changed the damn spark plugs, thinking that would fix it. I could smell fuel, so I knew that wasn't the problem.
