Master Switch

[Jerrett Trevathan]

Hello all. I am a complete newbie to BassCat and bass boats in general. The other day, I noticed that my Master Switch located under the gear shift at the helm is not working and also none of the buttons on my A10 pads are working either. Where should I start troubleshooting?

Also, I noticed the switch is riveted in? Has anyone drilled those out and replaced with stainless steel screws?

I included pics of the switch, main battery and bus bar.

My Eyra has a master switch on the cranking battery that has to be on before the switch in the boat works.

It could be a bad circuit breaker switch. Yes, that was a production floor decision made to rivet in panels. It was not thinking about field tech service and was unauthorized. Drill the heads off, and punch the rivet through. Then you should be able to place 1/8” SS sheet metal screws in with some thread bite.

Once you do you can aces the switch back side and see if the wires have been pulled off the switch. On an 18-19 year old boat who knows what has occurred. That voltmeter is your friend on this one. We have seen the main breaker switch fail also.
