The Cockpit Fridge and adjoining plug outlet worked on our new to us 2000 3500 Express two weeks ago when the survey was done. After trucking it down from MI, neither work. Everything else on the boat operates. Is there a hidden breaker or something we have not been able to find?

Mike - is there a GFI upstream of the plug? or is there a GFI on that plug behind the refrigerator? Good luck.

Thanks, we'll be looking at those locations and some other places with my borescope camera. I'm thinking a GFI popped when she got plugged to the dock post after delivery. We were not there and last week the Post kept popping it's breakers. Marina is replacing this week.
We got her out on the river, amazing boat. I've checked every GFI I could find including the engine room and all tested live. Next weekend we'll pull the fridge out as it has to be plugged in somewhere. Since it is probably the original and it will be out, might as well replace it. Hope that is where the issue is.
We solved the issue. Using a bore scope going through a small hole under the helm seat through the wall behind the cockpit fridge, we found a GFI plug behind the fridge. A previous owner had installed a vent plate on the starboard side of the fridge. Not much room but we got it off and we're able to gain access to the GFI behind the fridge. We reset and it all works. It probably got josteled during transit from Lake St. Clair to the Ohio River.
